Southbank tram depot is located in Southbank, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Operated by Yarra Trams, it is one of eight tram depots on the Melbourne tram network.
Southbank tram depot opened on 8 February 1997 on the site of the former Montague shipping shed replacing South Melbourne depot.[1] When the Public Transport Corporation was privatised in August 1999, Southbank depot passed to Yarra Trams.[2] The depot was extended in 2009 as part of the E-class tram project.[3]
The main yard has nine roads, two of these inside a maintenance shed.[4] There are also two stabling roads for the three Colonial Tramcar Restaurant cars, which also operate from this depot. Two entrances exist, East Gate and West Gate.
As of May 2024, the depot has an allocation of 68 trams:[4]
Servicing of Z3-class trams from other depots is performed at Southbank, however these trams are not used on Southbank routes.
The following routes are operated from Southbank depot:
Victoria Gardens to St Kilda[5]
St Vincent's Plaza to Central Pier Docklands[6]
West Coburg to Toorak shared with Essendon depot
East Brunswick to St Kilda Beach[8] shared with Preston depot
