The J-class trams were built as replacements for the King Street to Ocean Street, Edgecliff cable line designed to provide a frequent schedule, but with a lower seating capacity. Some briefly operated on the Manly lines in 1911. With the entry into service of the R class, withdrawals commenced in 1934 with all out of service by 1936.
