Queens Bridge Street (originally called Moray Street North, along with City Road, provided the main access into South and Port Melbourne from the city when the only bridges available for foot and wheel traffic were the Princes the Falls bridges. The Kearney map of 1855 shows land north of City Road (then Sandridge Road) as poorly-drained and avoided on account of its flood-prone nature. To the immediate south was Emerald Hill. The Port Melbourne railway crossed the river at The Falls and ran north of City Road. By the time of Commander Cox’s 1866 map, some industrial premises were located on the Yarra River bank and walking tracks connected them with the Sandridge Road and Emerald Hill.

    Improving Disabled Access to the Tram System in Melbourne, Victoria

    GFS-0812 Improving Disabled Access to the Tram System in Melbourne, Victoria An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Department of Infrastructure and the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by ____________________________________________ Alexander Christakis ____________________________________________ Katie Flynn ____________________________________________ Jennifer Himottu 28 April 2007 ____________________________________________ Professor Holly Ault, Advisor ____________________________________________ Professor Guillermo Salazar, Advisor This report represents the work of three WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract This project assisted the Department of Infrastructure of the Victorian government in improving the accessibility of the tram system for disabled passengers in Melbourne, Australia. A systematic rating system for assessing future stops to upgrade to conform to accessibility standards was proposed and applied to three target routes. Criteria were defined by reviewing the current state of accessibility and interviewing stakeholders. The proposed approach will help to effectively focus project effort and funding to critical areas in the future. ii Acknowledgements This project was a great undertaking and the first time WPI was able to work with the DOI of the state of Victoria. Therefore, we would like to thank the several people that helped and encouraged us throughout our project and made our stay in Melbourne even more enjoyable. We would first like to thank our project liaison Dr. Jim North, also known to us as ―Doctor‖, ―Professor‖, ―Gunslinger‖, ―The Scotsman‖ and ―Boss Jim.‖ He went above and beyond his duties as project liaison and drilled into our heads the idea of ―Scottish Rules.‖ All the information we needed, as long as we asked, we received.

    MCT) and Light Rail Plan

    DRAFT 59 Rail Futures Inc THE MELBOURNE RAIL PLAN Moving People in a City of 8 Million 25 May 2019 This paper has been prepared by Rail Futures Incorporated in the public interest. Rail Futures Inc is an independent non-partisan group formed to advocate cost effective rail and intermodal solutions for public transport and freight problems based on sound commercial, economic and social reasoning. Rail Futures members include experienced rail professionals, engineers, planners and economists. Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-2050, May 2019 Version 59 - DRAFT FOR COMMENT Rail Futures Institute 1 Foreword Melbourne once had one of the world’s best public transport systems. The forethought and planning of Victorians more than a century ago, and their capacity to value the welfare of Victorians of the future -us - as highly as their own, helped make Melbourne one of the world’s economically most productive and liveable cities. For the past few generations, myopia, carelessness and excessive valuation of the present over the future have been squandering that wonderful legacy. The economic and social life of this city will be deeply impaired by barriers to movement of people around the city unless chronic underinvestment over recent generations is remedied. The Melbourne Rail Plan 2019-50 demonstrates the way to correct the mistakes of recent generations, and that some contemporary Victorians are up to the challenge. The Report is comprehensive, creative and authoritative. It is an excellent foundation for rebuilding Melbourne to secure its position as one of the world’s most successful cities. Melbourne is growing more rapidly than any other large city in the developed world.

Monica Gould MP The Hon. Judy Maddigan MP President Speaker Legislative Council Legislative Assembly Parliament House Parliament House Melbourne Melbourne Dear Presiding Officers Under the provisions of section 16AB of the Audit Act 1994, I transmit my performance audit report on Franchising Melbourne’s train and tram system. Yours faithfully JW CAMERON Auditor-General 14 September 2005 v Foreword The lifeblood of any great city is its public transport system. For over 100 years, Victoria’s train and tram system was provided by the state. In the late 1990s, the Victorian Government took the step of contracting the private sector to operate the train and tram system, in the form of franchises, for periods up to 15 years. In effect, the state paid private sector companies to provide an essential public service. The franchises soon became untenable, forcing the government to quickly find a viable solution. The government had 3 credible options: renegotiate metropolitan train and tram franchises with remaining operators; retender franchises; or restore train and tram services to public sector ownership. The government chose the renegotiation path. Today, metropolitan train and tram services are provided by separate private sector train and tram operators, and regional train services are provided by the state. This audit examined the renegotiation of the franchise arrangements and whether the issues that arose from the original arrangements were addressed.

    Modernising the World's Largest Tramway

    Melbourne: Modernising the world’s largest tramway A special review in association with & BuiLt in MeLBouRne, ReshapingFoR M eLBastou LondonRne thRough Light RaiL Melbourne’s tramway is an iconic symbol of the city and one of the largest networks in the world, with 500km of track and almost 500 trams serving over 1750 stops. For the network’s latest generation of light rail vehicles, Bombardier Transportation is supplying 50 E Class Flexity Swift low-floor trams, with an option for a further 100. Maintaining the use of global standardised systems, the trams have undergone extensive modifications to cope with the challenging load conditions experienced in the city and mark a return to local manufacturing. As the first trams built in Australia in 12 years, the E Class carries its ‘Built in Melbourne for Melbourne’ sign with pride as they are currently being built at the Bombardier plant at Dandenong in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The trams are 33m long, 100% low-floor, can accommodate up to 210 passengers and are equipped with the MITRAC propulsion system and rotating bogies to handle tight turns and reduce wheel and track wear. These trams are the most comfortable, the safest and have the highest capacity of the Melbourne tram fleet. Inspired by one of Melbourne’s most beloved icons, the unique frontal design and LED lighting reflects the neon crown on the Mr Moon face at the entrance to Luna Park, and the E Class was honoured with a Good Design Award at the 2014 Australian International Design Awards.

This project, managed by tram operator Keolis Downer, has significantly reduced a severe wheel squeal noise problem on St. Kilda Road, Melbourne, Victoria. Given TOR friction modifier (FM) use for noise abatement was new to Yarra Trams, a comprehensive trial evaluating impacts to vehicle braking/traction and effectiveness as a noise solution was conducted with success, confirming the proposed embedded track wayside solution was safe and viable for ongoing Melbourne tram network use. Noise monitoring results have confirmed the applied TOR technology to be efficacious, with a significant reduction in wheel squeal events following installation of the wayside equipment, combined with mostly positive feedback from residents in the Domain precinct. Further work evaluating possible additional TOR friction control technology benefits mitigating rail wear and corrugation growth are planned for investigation. 1. INTRODUCTION implementation of an embedded track TOR system automatically dispensing the FM The Yarra Trams franchise is the world’s largest product during tram operation.

Colonial Tramcar conspiracy fear By Sean Car Yarra Trams' decision to force Colonial Tramcar restaurants off the tracks due to safety concerns last month has led to growing suggestions that it could be tied up with potential plans to open a new tram route to Fishermans Bend. The company’s fleet of heritage restaurant Mr O’Brien said that the company’s full fleet could be associated with a state government significant contributor to the state’s tourism trams came to a sudden halt last month after of three was now facing a potential return desire to relocate the company’s now vacant economy.
