Why are most of the W class trams now stored?
In 1990, the National Trust classified all remaining W class trams, thereby making them Heritage items. A combination of the Trust, unions and the State Government put an end to W class trams being removed from Victoria. This means that the trams listed as being stored at Newport Workshops are sitting in a bloody big warehouse gathering dust and slowly rotting away instead of either being sold or donated to individuals and/or groups that would take care of them and restore them to their former greatness.
Another set of trams is listed as being part of the Ready Reserve fleet stored at Preston Workshops. These 50 trams were supposed to be kept for emergency services such as extras for sporting events etc. but 43 of them have been stored in the old Plate Shop at the back of Preston Workshops, all bar five are not on rails. SW6 936 is stored in the workshops yard as it would not fit in the Plate Shop. Another 7 have been stored at various suburban depots.
The Balaclava Road/Hawthorn Road intersection was a fascinating place to spend time, as the tram tracks incorporated a perfectly symmetrical grand union. Route 3 ran through east-west, route 64 ran north-south, route 65 used the east-to-south curves and 69 the east-to-north while the occasional out-of-service car would use the other curves. The 65, which was peak hours only, has since been withdrawn and the 69 has been renumbered 16.

Dolle pret in SW6-tram 893 van Melbourne. Een in schooluniform gestoken kinderklasje maakt een uitstapje naar het techniek en voervoermuseum MOTAT in Auckland (Nieuw Zeeland) . Een ritje met een van de historische trams vormt tijdens de schoolreis een van de hoogtepunten.

Arriva London SW6 on route 102 in Finchley Road, Golders Green on 18th June 2018.
I believe this was the first date that Wright StreetDeck vehicles had worked on route 102, at the time principally operated with Enviro 400 buses supported by some HV-type Volvo hybrids. SW10 was also working the route on this date. The buses had been transferred from Garston garage to Palmers Green garage with the operation of route 340 as part of the run-down of Garston operations prior to closure.

Classic top photo from Edwardian times and Munster Road in Fulham When Munster Road first appeared it was originally a mere dirt track
for local farmers.The name has seen many changes over the years,
first appearing in 1397 as ‘Mustew’ to describe the whole area north
of Fulham Road.....The school on the far left is now St.John's Walham Green CE Primary School it originally opened in 1893!! and is Grade 2 Listed...The rest of the buildings still stand...

Car 922 was selected to be the prototype for an extensive Class W8 updating proposal. Some work was performed in 1993 but the project was cancelled and the body shell remains stored in Newport workshops. Cars 946 and 959 were subsequently rebuilt incorporating some of the original proposed features and classed W8, they remain in service.

With January 26th being Australia Day, a good a time as any to remember the days when Melbourne's trams showed a bit more community spirit than they do in 2015.
A flashback to Tuesday, January 24, 2006, and a view of 909 in Spring St. working the City Circle route in the lead up to Australia Day that year.
In 2014, 909 was transferred from the Preston Workshops to the Newport Workshops Depot for storage. Mal Rowe photo.
