Randwick tram testing times expanded

Thirty-nine trams are now stabled at Randwick with more scheduled to arrive in the coming weeks. The final trams are in production with the last one to roll off the assembly line very soon.

Driver training and tram testing is a key focus in Randwick as operations build towards passenger services starting in December.

Tram day testing times have been extended into peak hours between 9am and 5pm. Pedestrians, cyclists and drivers are reminded that traffic conditions have changed so be aware, there’s a tram there.
