Project overview
We’re building a new tram maintenance and stabling facility for Melbourne’s new next-generation G Class trams on part of the 61 – 71 Hampstead Road site in Maidstone.
The accessible, comfortable, and energy-efficient next-generation G Class trams will start testing on the network from later this year.
The project has extended the local tram line on Hampstead and Williamson roads to connect trams to the facility on Hampstead Road.
The first G Class trams are expected to begin testing on the network in 2025 and will roll out on routes 57, 59 and 82.
Works progress
Works are continuing onsite with landscaping and the installation of the equipment which will maintain the new next-generation G Class trams.
Design of the Maidstone facility
Designs were released for the new Maidstone tram maintenance and stabling facility in April 2023.
