On track for 2025, the Maidstone depot prepares to welcome Melbourne’s G Class fleet.

Overview

Tram stabling is where trams are parked while not in operation. The new facility will maintain, clean and store the state’s newest tram fleet.

The project has also built a short section of non-passenger tram track to connect the facility with Route 82 and the wider network, along Hampstead and Williamson roads. Trams will access the facility from Hampstead Road.

The Maidstone facility:

  • is located on a 6.5-hectare site at Maidstone, near routes 57 and 82
  • will maintain and stable G Class trams and support local jobs in Melbourne’s west
  • includes undercover maintenance tracks, stabling roads, an undercover stabling and sanding area, a tram wash and a test track.
