Sydney Tramway Museum

Welcome to the Sydney Tramway Museum, located at Loftus, Pitt Street, 2 in Australia. As an establishment, museum, point of interest, and tourist attraction, we offer a unique experience that takes you back in time. For over 50 years, we have been dedicated to preserving and operating Sydney's vintage trams, which played a significant role in everyday life for over 80 years until 1961.

At our museum, you can explore a wide selection of Sydney's vintage trams, as well as an impressive collection from other cities such as Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Ballarat. We also showcase trams from around the world, including San Francisco, Nagasaki, Munich, Milan, and Berlin. With such a diverse collection, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich history of trams.

Conveniently located next to Loftus railway station, you can easily access our museum. Simply get your ticket from the conductor and hop on board to enjoy a 4km journey towards Sutherland and the Royal National Park. Trams operate hourly, starting at 10.15am (last trip departs National Park at 2:30pm on Wednesdays and 4:30pm on Sundays).

What sets us apart is that our museum is entirely run by volunteers. Every dollar from your ticket sale goes towards keeping the museum operational. We take pride in offering a hands-on experience, ensuring that both young and old can enjoy our trams.

If you have a passion for trams and would like to contribute, we are always in need of more volunteers. Whether you're interested in being a traffic conductor, driver, workshop assistant, or helping with infrastructure, cleaning, or administration, we have opportunities for you. Simply pick up a membership form from one of our helpful volunteers and become a member. Join us in preserving the history of trams for future generations.

Accessibility is important to us, and while our site is generally mobility-impaired friendly, access to the trams themselves may be restricted due to their design. However, we have provided a platform to facilitate access, and our museum staff will assist you wherever possible.

Your entry ticket grants you unlimited tram rides and museum entry, allowing you to fully enjoy all that we have to offer. Families or groups of friends can visit without making a booking, but social and school groups are encouraged to book in advance.

We are excited to welcome you to the Sydney Tramway Museum and look forward to providing you with an unforgettable experience. Copyright 2016 South Pacific Electric Railway Co-operative Society Ltd.
