History

Southbank tram depot opened on 8 February 1997 on the site of the former Montague shipping shed replacing South Melbourne depot. When the Public Transport Corporation was privatised in August 1999, Southbank depot passed to Yarra Trams. The depot was extended in 2009 as part of the E-class tram project.

Layout

The main yard has nine roads, two of these inside a maintenance shed. There are also two stabling roads for the three Colonial Tramcar Restaurant cars, which also operate from this depot. Two entrances exist, East Gate and West Gate.

Rolling stock

As at January 2017, the depot had an allocation of 69 trams: 17 W-class, 12 A1-class, 12 A2-class, 5 C2-class and 23 E-class. Servicing of Z3-class trams from other depots is performed at Southbank, however these trams are not used on Southbank routes.
