New trams for Docklands

E-Class trams are now running in Docklands on Route 11 from West Preston.

It’s the first time the new Melbourne built trams have run outside Route 96.

The E-Class trams are 33 metres long and have the capacity to carry more than 200 people. They are also Melbourne’s most accessible trams with a low-floor design, wide doorways and dedicated spaces for wheelchairs, scooters and prams.
