History
In July 1928, the Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board (MMTB) approved the acquisition of a number of properties on Camberwell Road, west of Camberwell Junction, in preparation for the construction of a new tram depot.[1] A tender for £31,990 to construct the depot was accepted on 1 November 1928 by the MMTB,[2] with the depot opening in December 1929.[3][4][5][6] The opening of Camberwell depot ushered in a multitude of operational changes in the eastern part of the tram network, including extended hours of tramway operation.[3][7]
Traffic lights were installed on Riversdale Road, at the entrance to Camberwell depot in 1948, to increase safety. The traffic lights were in response to a large number of near misses, and were activated by trams.[8]
When the Public Transport Corporation was privatised in August 1999, Camberwell depot passed to Yarra Trams.[9][10]
Layout
Camberwell tram depot has nine roads, all of which are covered by a single 115 foot single span roof. This is said to increase safety within the depot shed as there are no columns, while also providing better lighting. The depot shed is connected to Riversdale Road by a double track entrance. The staff facilities and offices are in an adjacent building.[9][11]
Rolling stock
As of March 2023, the depot had an allocation of 61 trams: 4 A1-class, 20 A2-class and 37 B2-class.[9]
