Essendon depot renewal works
- 59
Saturday 6 August to Sunday 7 August 2022
Date and time
Saturday 6 August to Sunday 7 August, 7pm to last tram each night
Reason for service changes
As part of upgrading and maintaining Melbourne’s tram network, we’re conducting essential renewal works at Essendon Tram Depot in Mt Alexander Road.
Service changes
- Route 59 trams run a shortened service between Flinders Street Station and Stop 19 Royal Children’s Hospital.
- Buses replace Route 59 trams between Stop 19 Royal Children’s Hospital and Airport West.
Tram replacement services are stopping at temporary bus stops located near the existing tram stops. Follow orange information signage or speak to our customer service staff to locate your nearest temporary stop.
Replacement buses are low floor. If you need assistance, speak to our customer service team, or alert your driver.
