  • A Ride Through Victoria's Tramway Culture
    Trammies A ride through Victoria’s tramway culture Trammies tells of Victoria’s rich and colourful tramway history from 1885 to the present. Discover when trams started, why they survived against the odds and the characters who continue to work on them. 21 February – 11 May 2003 The Trammie Family The trammie family is an experience for many of us who put on the tram uniform. Our common costume helps identify us to the public and to our co-workers, while shiftwork has us out and about at odd times; early morning, late at night, and of course during the day. Trammies meet with Melbourne’s citizenry every day, as well as the many visitors to our city that jump on for a ride. Trammies gather around the pool table at the Malvern Depot. Trammies work from Melbourne’s eight tram depots, while others work at the Preston Workshops, Civil Branch and the Overhead Electrical Department. Together they share the day’s experiences and have the long standing tradition of socialising through tramway social clubs, inter-depot competitions, balls, picnics and barbeques. This social tradition was encouraged in the days of the Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board who actively sought to develop and encourage a harmonious ‘trammie family'.
