Melbourne SW6.965 in Denmark

In October 2005 SW6.965 was restored to original condition to be presented to Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Princess Mary. Then on Thursday, 10th November, 2005, SW6.965 was presented to the Danish Consul General, Jorgen Mollegaard, by the Victorian Transport Minister, Peter Batchelor, at a function at Preston Workshops.

On Tuesday, 23rd May, 2006, there was the official inauguration of "the royal tram" into the Danish Tramway Museum's fleet. The vehicle is owned by HRH Crown Prince Frederik and HRH Crown Princess Mary. The Danish Tramway Museum is located in the town of Skjoldenæsholm, about 65 kilometres southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark. The Danish Tramway Historical Society, was founded on 8 February 1965. The Society's aims are to extend knowledge of public transport in an apolitical and idealistic manner.
