Two Trams Operate Over The Easter Long Weekend

To cater for the usual busy time in Whiteman Park, the Society once again operated two trams over the Easter Long Weekend. 

Melbourne tram W7 1017 and Perth tram E 66 operated the tram services over the long weekend, with 66 proving very popular with the public. The rarely used crossing loop allowed the two trams to pass each other, with many passengers being very surprised to see another tram pass them!

Also over the long weekend the Society welcomed back PETS member Hayden Holmes who travelled all the way from Sydney to drive our trams over the long weekend! Special thanks to Hayden for his extraordinary effort.

The long weekend was also potentially the last time that the crossing loop would be used by our trams, as it is scheduled to be removed as part of our Tramway Extension Project.
