A little slice of History! - A Ride Along the Route 3a 1 Year on! - Z3.202 & B2.2030
It’s been a while… first upload in 3 months!
I’m not quite “dead” yet 😂
Saturday October 29 2023 marked an end of a little unique piece of Melbourne’s Tram Network, when the Route 3a came to an end, The Route 3 was very unique as it was the only tram route to have a regular Weekend division and was known as 3a as it diverted via St Kilda Beach. On 31st January 2009, The Route 3 was altered on the weekends to form the 3a, diverting from the regular route at St Kilda Junction and travelling via Fitzroy Street, The Esplanade and Carlisle Street to rejoin the regular route at the corner St Kilda Rd and Carlisle Street. And after running for a total of 14 years, 8 months, & 29 days, on Saturday 29th October 2023, the Route 3a saw its final day,
Both the Route 3 & 3a were run from the Glenhuntly depot with Z and B Class trams, and was a well used route, by tourists getting to and from the famous Luna Park attraction.
Today we have 2 ride-along clips, the first on Z3.202, heading to St Kilda from Anzac Station, and the second being onboard B2.2030, heading to Melbourne Uni from St Kilda.

The Z3 AOA PTV safety campaign trams #150 & #175
มุมมอง 1073 หลายเดือนก่อน
Short one today… but better than nothing. 2 Z3 AOA trams, advertising PTV safety campaigns “TAC Stop kidding yourself, if you drink, take the tram” #150 From Essendon & a single clip of #175 From Malvern. Which was on loan to Essendon depot at time on filming. Both these trams now have yellow “beware a tram weighs as much as 30 rhinos” advertisements.

Well my first video for 2024 is a bit of a sad one, and not one I was expecting to upload, We all knew it would be a sad end to 130 when it finally ended, and that date came on Monday 25/3/2024 when the tram was officially decommissioned from service. So let's go through the history and major events of 130s Life, It was began service on Wednesday 23rd April 1980 and was painted in MMTB Marigold...

    This is just a short video, and my comment might confuse you. I like and dislike the AOA on these trams depending on the location. I like the AOA when surrounded by the greenery of Royal Park, but I think it is ugly when running through the city. This AOA is only effective when it can be clearly seen in open spaces rather than being inconspicuous when almost hidden by the backdrop of the city. I have seen the Rhino AOA, and although it's quite noticeable, I think it looks too much like a roadworks warning than a tram safety warning.

    I am not sure how I feel about this tram, and I am leaning towards it being a little overdone. I think the doors would be hard to recognise for those who are vision impaired and those who are unfamiliar with the trams. I am looking forward to your filming of the other 5 art trams Dave.

      Hi John! Yeah I agree, I think this tram is a bit “full on” and there’s a bit much happening, however I’ll save my final opinion until I’ve seen the others in person - from the photos provided some look better than others.

    • @MelbourneTramFan
      @MelbourneTramFan 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha, cheers John. I noticed many of the Sydney trams have the same AOA as Melbourne’s, although they aren’t completely covered like ours, regardless it was nice to be filming something different, riding on them was actually pretty decent, good smooth ride out to Randwick and circular quay. But I still don’t understand why you can’t ‘touch on’ inside the actual vehicle hahaha. Thanks for the comment.

    • @aussiejohn5835
      @aussiejohn5835 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @MelbourneTramFan They decided that tapping on inside would cause congestion around the doors and slow down the loading and increase the dwell times. The AOA on the Sydney trams is more overpowering to me because of the length of the trams.

    I usually watch on my TV but today I only have my phone and can't make out the fleet numbers which makes commenting difficult. My favourite tram is the "McCafe" because I think the colours are very suited to the tram. My least favourite is the Red Energy tram as it looks very messy to me. The Burrito tram is not too bad and the legacy tram is my second favourite. The blue CRM tram is my next least favourite and the tram immediately after that looks like the rear end has been dipped in tomato sauce😅. The final tram in Royal Park is also one of the best especially for the class of tram used. I really enjoyed this video which you edited together beautifully, well done Dave. 👏
