Extra Trams all weekend to the Showgrounds for the Melbourne Cat Lovers Festival.
We didn’t want to do it, but some cat in our office made it very clear that it would be in our best interest, particularly if we want to keep our new G class trams scratch free. #YarraTrams

We are aware of an incident on Victoria Parade affecting Rt 109 services. Please aid us in recovery efforts by not yelling out “You can’t park there mate!” as you drive past. #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: March 2018 Z3.190 derailed turning from Maribyrnong Rd into Ascot Vale Rd. The investigation found it was caused by the driver having a micro-sleep. We solved this by making the Z class trams ride so rough no one can ever sleep on them. #YarraTrams

The Melbourne Doughnut Festival is on this weekend at the Queen Vic Market.
We’re letting you know this early so you have a chance to line up before the Tram Cops get there, otherwise there will be no doughnuts left. #YarraTrams

Our Performance Results are in for September. We were doing really well, until we got cocky and told everyone it was Trammie Time, and then we took it too easy and were beaten at the final siren. Oh well, there is always next year, or we could bottom out. Who knows? #YarraTrams

Mince Pies have started appearing in Supermarkets, which means Christmas is just around the corner. Because of this we’re starting our Christmas timetable, meaning reduced services across the network, inline with the reduced demand for services during the holidays. #YarraTrams

Extra trams this weekend to the MCG and Docklands for the AFLW Pride Round.
What do you mean the footy isn’t being played there? Are the AFL trying to undermine the competition by using substandard grounds? That sounds like something we would do to say it’s unviable. #YarraTrams

Throwback Thursday: Nov. 1999 and Z3.149 awaits scraping at Essendon Depot after catching fire.
Following an investigation into the cause, the Driver was stood down from ever again handling the tongs at any #YarraTrams BBQ.

Due to the recent interest rate rises, we’re having to raise ticket prices to the point that it’s now cheaper to be fined instead. Your best option as always is to continue fare evading, the most common way to ride on #YarraTrams since privatisation.

We’re still a little confused about the timetable now that the clocks have changed. Just give us six months and we’ll have trams running on time again.
And while we’re at it, how hard is it to save daylight anyway when interest rates just went up? Give us a break! #YarraTrams

As the wet weather and flooding continues around the network, now is a great time to pick up your #YarraTrams Floaties. Available onboard any tram for the very fair and reasonable surge pricing of $149.99 a pair. Get them for the whole family today!

Throwback Thursday: Dec. 2007 it was a late night, and Depot Cat had stolen a tram to go on a Kebab Crawl. Even now we still can’t get the smell of garlic sauce out of the vehicle. #YarraTrams

Had to bring the kids into work today, so they are writing today’s #YarraTrams posts:

“Farts! I’m hungry. This is boring. Why does mummy say not to talk about Uncle Tommy visiting when you’re not home? Where is Depot Cat? I don’t like trams.”

A driver in Adelaide has attempted to extend the line further up Port Rd, but didn’t get very far.
We won’t employ them here at #YarraTrams, but are bringing them on as an external consultant, so that we have plausible deniability if they do it on our network. 📸Kane’s Trains

Tram Cops today are targeting any interstaters still hanging around after the Grand Final.
You won’t be fined, but you will be made to make a hook turn repeatedly until you get it right, while listening to a hipster barista talk about the origin of their coffee beans. #YarraTrams

Daylight Saving Time starts next Sunday, so to prepare everyone for it, we’re running trams an hour early, or an hour late today. We can never remember which way the clocks change, so we’ve covering both bases. #YarraTrams

**DRAFT** Well done to [winning team] for winning the 2026 AFL Grand Final, what an amazing game to beat [losing team]. We always knew you could do it. Congratulations from everyone here st #YarraTrams
**DO NOT POST UNTIL AFTER THE GAME**

Due to the ongoing wet weather, we are putting into action our special flood tram, to help get people to the Grand Final. #YarraTrams #AFLGF2026

It’s finally here, the biggest day on the footy calendar. The Great Kick To Kick of a Showbag footy on the Grand Arena at the Royal Melbourne Show.
We’re putting on extra trams to get you there, so it’s a good thing no other major events are on in Melbourne today. #YarraTrams
