From horses to cables to electricity. Melbourne’s trams have been rattling through the city for over 120 years. First hitting the tracks in 1885, our tram network has grown into the largest in the world outside of Europe, with over 520 trams cruising along 250 kilometres of track.

But it’s not just the rumble we love, it’s the W-class tram and its famous tram banner that really takes us back. Wait, what’s a tram banner? It’s that roll-up sign at the front of the tram that used to tell you exactly where you were headed (assuming you could read it in time). Officially called a “destination blind”, it’s now a beloved design icon, and let’s be honest, half the charm of the old rides.
