Tram Drivers View - Melbourne Tram Route 11 at Night 

I don't when you filmed this , but I have never seen the CBD so empty of people, more action along the route. More night ones if you get the chance Brendan and thanks for some great memories.

I think this is the only tram route in Melbourne I've never ridden to the end. Thanks mate :)

I love the lighting on Parliament House! Thanks for the ride.

Thanks again Brendan for a tram ride, never used this route when we are out in Melbourne so a nice change

Used to stay in Brunswick Street a few years ago! Good old memories!

Hi Brendan. I only returned from Melbourne 3 weeks ago. This tram route makes me homesick !🤓. It's a close call between the 86, 96, 109, or 11, as to which route I use the most when I am there. It's so handy to the hotel I stay at too ! Thanks for the video 👍

Railways; trains, trams, aren't they all beautifull I love them and I have a folder about them. I think you'll enjoy them as well, take a ride! :)) 🚅🚈🚞🚝🚂🚃🚄

Thanks for this trip, was a connie on this route during the 1980s, brings back memories

great light rail system all the best

I'm a train and I approve this video choo choo! :)

At 35:34 sounds like you're playing 8 bit games in the cab, great video overall, really enjoy watching these 🙂

With so little traffic, the tram sat at some empty intersections for quite a few seconds. It wouldn't take a whole lot of money to install sensors and program the lights to let the tram go through when there are no cars approaching.

AT about 25 minutes in, a passing tram's sign said. "Sorry. Not taking Passengers" or similar. For my two pence, . Melbournians are inherently polite.

The tram poles go all the way to Edwardes Lake in anticipation of a tram extension that was never built. I remember a passenger who got off at Regent Street telling me that 'we were promised a tram extension 20 years ago and we're still waiting'. That was back in the seventies when the tram to West Preston ran at night and on weekends as route 10 from St Kilda Beach. In an unmodified 'W' class tram you could release the brake upon leaving the terminus and free wheel the entire length of Gilbert Road all the way to Miller Street and bring the tram to a nice steady pace to take the corner before powering up to make the connection at St Georges Road with the waiting 'hump' car to ferry passengers along Dundas Street and across the Epping railway line to connect with the East Preston tram at High Street and Plenty Road. So much has changed. The railway now goes to South Morang and the East Preston tram has had three extensions. The first being to Boldrewood Parade, the second to La Trobe University and the third to Bundoora. Meanwhile, that extension along Gilbert Road only managed to gain the extra necessary length of rail to accommodate longer trams at the terminus. Has the power supply been upgraded? Gilbert Road was one place where it was advised to use the power limit switch on a 'Z'.

100 E class trams now!

awesome work brother, i live on this route :) do you ever drive early mornings?

i am thinking to change all trams from bells to train horns it will be better for alert all cars

What was the ringing noise at 8:37?

Why am i watching my tram route at home lol

Are you the tram driver?

Carbrains there really can't tell the difference between a bike lane an a parking spot.
