A Fuzzy Video Of The Woolloongabba-to-Salisbury Tram Route Using Different Trams (Occasionally Going In Different Directions At Different Times). It Goes Along Ipswich Rd and Then Up Beaudesert Rd It Passes Moorooka Fleetingly.

a crime to have removed these tram routes.

The video may be a bit fuzzy, at times the trams are going in different directions, but it's the sound of the wheels on the lines that makes the film so nostalgic. I still refer to the Moorvale shopping centre as Stop 38! How sad is that?

I honestly don't understand how a noisy tram with no suspension, wires, electrical infrastructure and fixed tracks was considered a good idea? It was costly and maintenace intensive. There were petrol cars driving around, why not have buses with rubber tires, less noise, no wires, no electrical infrastructure and the freedom to travel anywhere...........

We occasionally caught a tram from Moorvale to Chardons corner for school (Yeronga High). Great memories.I even remember seeing a steam engine crossing near wooloongabba once. What a mess of wires the five ways was. The best experience had to be the rubber tyre trolley buses running along Kangaroo Point across the bridge. So silent and smooth.

I loved going to the city on these trams from the Belmont terminus as a kid. Brisbane began to lose its soul after they were scrapped.

Interesting, my great grandfather, Shearwin was brought up from Sydney to Brisbane to electrify the Trams of Brisbane around the turn of the twentyth century.

Fantastic memories. Our urban lifeline, loved travelling by tram, which growing up in the 60's was a regular and increasingly until their scrapping, everyday event.

I was 5 in 69', and have a fuzzy memory of trams and the Mt Gravatt terminus. A sad day when they went and I often travel to Melbourne to get my Tram fix! Now they want to build a stupid Metro in Brisbane, instead of light rail.....will we never learn?? Thank you for the great footage!

I lived at the junction of Beaudesert and Ipswich Roads (Tram stop 33), where the tram tracks left Ipswich Rd outbound and started up Beaudesert Rd. Trucks, cars and most frequently bicycles (especially the thin-tyred semi-racers) would on coming inbound on Ipswich Rd, would encounter the tram tracks at the junction.
