Visiting the Sydney Tramway Museum
The Sydney Tramway Museum located about an hour South of Sydney, at Loftus. I went along to check out the museum just over 20 years since my last visit to ride some trams, check out the museum and see what's changed! We cover in this video what there is to do and see at the museum as well as how to get there and my thoughts on the venue! So come along and check out The Sydney Tramway Museum.

I last went to the Sydney museum in 2009 and it is a place I would love to go back to. The collection and facilities are phenomenal!

Thanks William! Certainly worth a revisit I reckon!
Great coverage and great memories. I've lost count how many times I've been to the place in my younger days and it's good to see it's still going strong, though the YMCA facia transplant turned out to be a bit if a white elephant. Even getting stuck at the level crossing was worth it.

I lived in Sydney for 42 years, and never went there....the things you miss hey. I do intend to get up there and visit - just not sure when that will be. Another great video Will!!

The Variotram is usually out at the tram festival it usually lives in a non public open shed :) Sometimes if you are lucky they let you take a peek :)

Sorry for the mistake, I’ll try harder in future videos. Sorry again.
I think I visited the museum in 2011 while I was living in Sydney. They had a Sydney O class tram and a tram from Japan (Nagasaki) running on the day. I was also very lucky in that one of the volunteers offered to show me through the non-public areas. I got to see the entire collection

How long should you plan for a visit.
@WillJamesRailways

I’d say 2 hours at least, three if you really want to get the most out of it! I mean if you brought a little lunch a half day would be ideal!
How long was the tram ride roughly?

I was in Sydney for the Rosehill exhibition! However I’m always trying to bring more content not just from Victoria, so hopefully there will be more interstate trips in the future!
