  • 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'.

  • News Update March 2019
    Council of Tramway Museums of Australasia Inc. www.cotma.org.au News Update March 2019 COTMA on Australia’s newest heritage tram … with thanks to Matthew Geier and STM From the President Welcome to our 1stUpdate for 2019 and hello from disaster-weary Christchurch at the end of a week of roller coaster emotions ranging from the shock, disbelief, fear and anger following the brutal terrorist attack and horrific slayings at two Christchurch mosques, to the upsurge of strong political, community and individual demonstrations of unity, love and support for those affected, and nonstop media saturation not yet abated. Also disturbing has been the news of the killings in the Netherlands, on board an Utrecht tram, three days after the NZ event. I commenced writing this after attending a 20,000 strong and very moving memorial service in Hagley Park on Friday afternoon. With similar gatherings being held all over the country and beyond, and set to continue over the weekend, NZ has reaffirmed to the world its intentions to remain and foster a community identity that is inclusive, multi-cultural and peace-loving. This was just three weeks after the 8th anniversary of the devastating 22 February 2011 earthquake, and three weeks before that, for the wider THS family, the sadness of the unexpected passing of loved and respected founder John Shanks. I am also heading into the unchartered waters of retirement at the end of the month, after 50 years working in local government in Christchurch. I seem to have been busier than ever over recent weeks trying to complete some unfinished business, having a massive tidy up/clean out and endeavouring to pass on information and knowledge and in the case of the city tramway, encouraging interest and enthusiasm amongst younger colleagues.

    Council of Tramway Museums of Australasia Inc. P.O. Box 61 www.cotma.org.au Carlton South Vic. 3053 www.cotma.org.au A0030417B News Update - December 2011 ABN 81 315 085 479 Season Greetings and a Happy 2012 to all our members and readers – may the trolley wheels (or skids, pantographs) keep turning smoothly for you! From the Chairman With the increasing use of litigation to resolve problems within organisations and more and more regulation, the life expectancy and work of an organisation and their members can be impacted upon with little warning. In Australia, there are currently three regulatory changes that are reported upon in this News Update that could impact on our Australian Members. These are changes to Rail Safety Regulation, the introduction of a new Australian Charities and Not for Profit Regulator and changes to the Work Health and Safety Legislation that now includes the work of volunteers. While these are still work in progress, they could unduly affect your museum if you are not aware of them. Forthcoming Executive meeting – agenda items The COTMA Executive is meeting in Auckland on Sunday January 29, 2012 to discuss COTMA organisational matters, including the forthcoming Adelaide Conference organisation. If any member has an item that it would like to discussed by the Executive, can you please let the Chairman know by an e-mail to [email protected] by early January. 2012 COTMA Conference The organisation of the COTMA Conference for Thursday August 16 to Tuesday August 21 2012 is going well. A draft Agenda of the program is attached to the News Update.

The views expressed are those of the authors. Public Transportation Partnership for Tomorrow Washington, DC June 2002 BRING BACK THE STREETCARS! A Conservative Vision of Tomorrow’s Urban Transportation A Study Prepared by the Free Congress Research and Education Foundation By Paul M. Weyrich and William S.

But recently, that has begun to change. Urban downtowns are reviving, and new towns are being built to traditional patterns. Not only can streetcars serve these non- suburban areas, they need streetcars in order to flourish. Streetcars – which we define as rail transit vehicles designed for local transportation, powered by electricity received from an overhead wire – differ from both buses and Light Rail.

  • Submission No. 29 Received 19 August 2013
    ASSOCIATION OF TOURIST RAILWAYS INC. Registered No. A0022112C Preserving Heritage Railways and Tramways in Victoria Registered Address: 18 Coreen Avenue, Beaumaris, 3193 Email: [email protected] 15th August 2013 Executive Officer Environment and Natural Resources Committee Parliament House Spring Street East Melbourne Vic 3022 Dear Dr Gardiner, RE: INQUIRY INTO HERITAGE TOURISM AND ECOTOURISM I am writing in response to your invitation to make a submission to the above inquiry on behalf of the Tourist Railways and Tramways in Victoria. The Association of Tourist Railways Inc. is the peak body representing the majority of these volunteer groups established to preserve the history and culture of railway and tramway operations for Victoria’s future generations. We rely heavily on tourists not railway enthusiasts to patronise our undertakings and call on volunteers throughout the community, many of whom become volunteers as a community activity rather than they have an overwhelming interest in old trams or trains. Whilst there is significant recognition of Puffing Billy as one of Victoria’s key tourism products, most of the other groups are not well known, yet they all play a significant part in preserving Victoria’s transport heritage. To provide some insight into the extent of these activities, the 17 groups excluding Puffing Billy carried 600,000 passengers, employed 42 equivalent full time employees, generated $16.2m direct revenue and are actively supported by 3000 Victorians who volunteer their time. If Puffing Billy is also included, a further 50 employees, $2m revenue, 240,000 passenger journeys and 1000 volunteers can be added. Very little is known about the overall economic benefit to the local communities that support these groups.
