Extra Footy Trams this weekend for the big Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina clash at the Toronto Stadium.

Hang on, we think we looked up the wrong footy fixture. Yep, our bad, this is for some little league local footy comp. No extra trams until we work this out. #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: c.1950’s showing the corner of Swanston & Collins Sts looking south.
We really like the markings showing pedestrians to keep left, marked on the ground so it’s easier to see when watching videos on your phone. #YarraTrams

Police are conducting training in Newport today, by exploding old trams with things go boom and leave lots of damage.
Our request for them to do this training on Rt. 82 instead, where we could both benefit by the removal of trams and locals was unfortunately rejected. #YarraTrams

Big 4 Yarra Valley have a couple of trams onsite for accommodation. To ensure they meet the #YarraTrams network standards, the trams are not recommended for people with limited mobility given the number of steps and access to accommodation.

Yesterday we had yet another moron car driver who thought he was a tram. Unless you’re prepared to carry the kind of lowlife scumbags we do, then stay off the tracks. We don’t come into your workplace and stand around the water-cooler talking about mundane stuff. #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: With winter here, here’s a chilly SW6 number 965 on its first test run in the snow at the Danish Tramway Museum, February 2006. Or as the Danish would say “Så kold at din gong vil knække af.” #YarraTrams

If half priced fares, why we no get to run half services?
It’s so unfair that we’re meant to provide according to an agreement that clearly isn’t in our favour. We demand double the pay, and for that to double when fares increase in 2027. #YarraTrams

Tram Cops are back in action, after a couple of months of Government endorsed fare evasion.
Because fares are now half price, they’ll be fining twice as many to make up the difference, or just fining you twice if you’re a Eshay, even with a valid Myki. #YarraTrams

#YarraTrams handy travel tip. Set the date on your phone back one month, and then you still get free travel. Just say it’s daylight month savings time, no one will know the difference.

The AFL are having 5 weeks of bye rounds, so we’re also saying bye-bye and not running any Extra Footy Trams. If they can’t be bothered putting in a full effort, why should we?* #YarraTrams

*Yes we do do a full effort, trying hard everyday. It’s why we’re known as try hards.
