Wet weather over the summer

09 January 2024

Several major wet weather events have caused disruptions to the tramway this summer. Our Xmas Day services were cancelled after a large section of the track in Wendouree Parade was under water. A severe electrical storm on 2 January caused the cancellation of tram services. The heavy rain meant that visitors were forced to stay in the Museum for about two hours until the storm subsided.

A vintage green and yellow tram is appears to be partially submerged in floodwater on a street. The tram's number 96 is visible on its roof, and the number 1029 is on its front.
