Today's historic photo of the day: Works #tram no 10W is the brightest coloured thing in the scene on a winters' day as it turns from Peel Street into William Street, Melbourne, Vic, July 1 1989.

Works trams are no longer seen in Melbourne, but until about 2002 there was a small fleet of these non passenger carrying trams that were used for tasks such as carrying materials between depots, grinding the rails and as in this case, cleaning (or scrubbing) the tracks free of mud, leaves and debris.

A bright yellow liveried single truck tram in the distance approaches a shallow left hand curve. The weather is an overcast and wintry day with the trees lining the city streets having largely lost their leaves. A handful of cars are travelling along the wide street, and there are many cars parked on the sides of the streets.

I should add that Z-class trams are not particularly amazing vehicles by modern standards, BUT they were significant because their construction signalled the moment you could be sure that Melbourne's tram network was going to survive the post-war abandonment of trams in Australia, UK, USA etc. Phew. Thanks, Z-class.

Can't wait for the new rail line under Melbourne's CBD to open, it's much needed. I keep boarding Elizabeth Street trams headed for the hospital precinct & Melbourne Uni which are absolutely packed, even in the middle of the day (I'm on one now). The new line should take away some of that traffic.

Ci sono più persone nella parte sinistra della foto che nella parte destra. E si spostano più velocemente!

Quel misero #tram quasi centenario può portare più di 100 persone. Tutte quelle auto messe insieme neanche la metà, ma più probabilmente portano 1 persona ciascuna.

Perché buttiamo via così tanto spazio prezioso?

E comunque odio il #traffico del salone del mobile / #fuorisalone

Today's historic photo of the day: Melbourne W7 class #tram no 1028 running a route 10 service bound for St Kilda Beach has just departed the Richardson Street stop in Mills Street, Middle Park, Vic, November 26 1988.

The forty W7 class trams were built in 1955/56 to run Bourke Street tram lines re-constructed as electric lines in the lead-up to the 1956 Olympic Games to replace the diesel buses that had unsatisfactorily replaced Melbourne's last cable tram lines in 1940.

A W7 class dropcentre type tramcar in bright yellow and green livery runs along a quiet suburban street. The tram's desto is displaying Sth Melb & St Kilda Beach, and the route number box is displaying route 10. The tram has advertisements for BE Hire on the lower front aprons either side of the centrally mounted headlight and fleet number 1028. A 1970s style car is parked on the edge of the street at right, but there are no other vehicles visible.

Today I learned that although the Vélez-Málaga tram line has been out of service since 2012, the actual trams are still there. Or at least 1 of them is, but I suspect the other 2 may be in the building in the background. These were the 1st modern-day trams to run in Andalucía - and soon became the 1st modern trams to be withdrawn from service in Andalucía.

I thought they were on lease to some city with a functioning tramway, but I guess they were returned at some point.

a modern tram in silver, blue, and green colours. it is in a depot with a large shed behind it, under a blue sky

@slothrop Having been to Vienna, I strongly second this.

The metro trains run every 5 minutes or better, and likewise trams. They're incredibly punctual.

And no, Americans reading this, that's not a typo.

Almost every destination you'll want to see is either near a metro station or a tram stop.

Belvedere palace? Tram stop. Schonbrunn palace? Metro. St Stephen's Cathedral/Stephensplatz? Metro. Museum district? Metro.

Many parts of the city centre have been pedestrianised.

But aside from all that, especially if you're from the US, Venna almost certainly has better public transport than your hometown.

And I think part of the Vienna experience is being in a city with world-class public transport.
