Route 75: The Longest Urban Tram Route in the World*

Hello all, and welcome back to Tekkie’s Transport.
Join me as we venture down the longest urban tram route in the world (at the time of writing); Route 75 from Docklands to Vermont South.

All uncredited footage, photos, and diagrams in this video are mine, except for the PTV tram network map, and the satellite imagery, which is from Google Earth.

A big thanks to ‪@BeastsTransport‬ for providing footage from the Melbourne Tram Museum.
