Description
If you want to know more about Australasia's transport history - specifically trams and light rail - this is the channel for you. If you like trains, metros etc. suggest you also check our our other channel Backtracks.sidetracked.
It's not "The History Channel" - so the videos are not meant to be curated historical records, but a nostalgic look at the transport systems that were lost over time. The information in the videos are based on multiple sources from books, websites, blogs and articles, as well as personal knowledge. But we get things wrong sometimes.. So corrections from viewers are welcome and appreciated.

The section you couldn't get access to is used for weapons training. It's convenient because it's soundproof, in the city and secure. Maybe the other really interesting station with as many secrets is North Sydney and if you have a really keen eye Waverton. Lots of stuff hidden in plain sight

Travelled by tram during the 50's from Naremburn to Wynyard to go to school.

Bradfield was such a visionary. His work really makes you wish that our current governments, all over Australia, had just as much foresight and confidence in what we can achieve as a country.

Truly the biggest injustice discontinuing the original tram system

Governments should hang their heads in shame for not implementing all of these rail lines! Great history presentation!
