W6 Class

Description
W6 Class Tram
The W-class trams are a family of electric trams built by the Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board (MMTB) between 1923 and 1956. Over the 33 years of production, 752 vehicles spanning 12 sub-classes were constructed, the majority at the MMTB's Preston Workshops. The SW6-class were introduced in 1939 and were followed by the W6-class which were produced between 1951 and 1955, 150 were built in total. At their introduction, W6-class trams were popular with passengers and crew alike for being fast, smooth and comfortable. The cab controls are the same as of other W-class trams. The first 40 had flip-over wooden seats in the end saloons, the remainder having upholstered bus seats. All had wooden seats in the centre saloon until the 1970s when the entire class was refurbished with upholstered seats throughout. W6-class trams initially begun as a sub group of the SW6-class trams, but later became their own class. The W6 differed from the SW6 in having quieter wheels and gears plus additional soundproofing. As of June 2020, no trams are operational in original condition with Yarra Trams, with all of them being converted into W8 trams or stored. Two W6 and twelve SW6 trams are in the hands of preservation groups, one of which is used as a café tram in Bendigo. Three SW6-class trams also operate on the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant service.

Hi Dadang,

These trams had a life to them, as you said in your description you could hear them bounce around on the tracks and you knew they were on their way to your stop. The newer trams don't have any character. Most people older than 20 will tell you how great it was to ride these trams.

When the newer trams came along, some of the Ws became free on the Melbourne Loop and some were sold and used as restaurants. You could eat dinner while the tram gave you a tour of Melbourne.

I was lucky for my age, I saw the last of the W trams and also the last of the wooden trains on the Melbourne public transport system. There is no life anymore from the new vehicles.

Hi Dadang

I never took the time to say thank you.

I remember these trams very well. If my memory is correct, they were used for a while as free trams around the City Circle, so it's sad if they're no longer part of the heart of Melbourne.

Thanks again,

Rod

Yeah - these look like they'd do the job of covering for a Christchurch Brill
