[TramsDownUnder] Getting back to trams ...

The attached pic dates from around 1925 and shows a Melbourne T class
tram at South Melbourne (Hanna St) tram depot.

There is a huge pile of woodblocks visible behind the tram in the
adjacent per-way yard

179 is in its original form with no bulkhead behind the driver and a tip
over cross bench seat on the platform.

Later a bulkhead was installed - with a driver exit door and short seats
backing onto it on each platform.

The T class were the only ex Trust trams that were able to perform to a
level that meant they could run in mixed traffic with W class trams.

Mal Rowe - hastening to add that the L class trams were not ex -Trust.
