Sydney Tramway Museum, Loftus 23 February

Visit the Sydney Tramway Museum, Loftus

Sunday 23 February

Using Opal cards, we will travel for about 40 minutes by train (or train replacement bus) to Loftus Station, adjacent to the museum. Once there, Ron will provide commentary and background information about the history of the museum and the trams. The museum will be operating a number of Sydney trams of the various types that were illustrated in the presentation on 11 February. Rides will be available towards Sutherland and into the Royal National Park, along the former railway line. There are two display halls containing trams from Sydney, interstate and overseas, with maps, photos and displays of preserved equipment. A book and souvenir shop is located on site, and there may be a “sausage sizzle” run by local scouts.

If you are interested in this event, it is highly recommended that you book for Ron’s presentation “A brief history of Sydney tramways” in Chatswood on 11 February.

Meet at Central Station at 10:00 (final details available when booking). For those wanting to drive to the museum, access is from Old Princes Highway, via the centre of Sutherland. Ron will suggest meeting arrangements when booking.

Cost: Admission to the museum is $20 for adults and $15 for seniors and includes unlimited tram rides and access to the displays.
