The Rozelle Depot was the 'heart' of the Western Line. At it's peak it had 200 trams and over 600 staff.
The Western Lines, also known as "The Red Lines" after the colour of the destination symbols and also "The George Street Lines" because they ran from Circular Quay, Millers Point and Fort Macquarie down George Street and once past Railway Square the lines then fanned north and west to various destinations.
As always, videos on this channel are not meant to be 100% accurate historical records. Having said this, we do try to ensure they are factually correct by using multiple sources from what we think are credible books, websites, blogs and articles. But we do make mistakes....
It's worth nothing that Sydney's original tramlines didn't use colours (or even route numbers) to denote lines - instead they used the 'termini' of each line as their names. In the route animations we have arbitrarily selected colours to differentiate the lines visually on the maps.
