From 3rd - 18th January 2022 track and overhead renewal work in Mt Alexander Rd plus track renewal in the Essendon Tram Depot meant that the depot could not be accessed by trams. Accordingly a temporary depot was established in Royal Park, Parkville, between Flemington Rd and Elliott Avenue. Route 58 trams ran in two sections between Toorak and the Royal Children's Hospital, Flemington Rd, and Royal Park Station to the West Coburg terminus. A tram replacement bus service connected the two tram sections with E class trams shunting along Flemington Rd for their return journeys to Toorak.

Hi, great video. I love the sound of ‘wheels on steel’. Just for other people that view this and me, can you tell us if Albert Park tracks have been used as a ‘Depot’ before? Why was it used as a temp depot? I tried to google the reason but could not find out. Cheers Steve

Hello Steve, when you say "Albert Park" tracks I assume you are referring to the St Kilda Light Rail tracks? I'm no expert but I have a feeling that might have happened in the past. I shall endeavour to find out and will let you know if I get any results to my enquiry. As explained in my introduction to the video the Temporary Essendon Depot was due to track and overhead replacement works in Mt Alexander Rd and also track replacement in Essendon Depot itself, hence the need for a temporary depot in Royal Park. Regards, Casper.
