Trams in Sydney - Legacy

Legacy

• The Sydney government bus network generally reflects the area and routes covered by the tram network. Many suburbs with "Junction" in their name reflect their tramway heritage, such as Bondi Junction, Randwick Junction, and Maroubra Junction.
• The easternmost southbound traffic lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge were originally constructed to carry the City and Suburban Railway but were used for trams, and are still separated from and clearly distinguishable from the other six road lanes, with the remnants of the eastern Milsons Point Station (tram) located at the site of the northern toll plaza.
• Wynyard Railway Station platforms are still numbered from 3 to 6. Platforms 1 and 2 were tram platforms and the railway platforms were never renumbered when the tram platforms were removed.
• Shoot through like a Bondi tram is a phrase still used in Sydney, meaning to depart in haste.
• The tram museum is in the suburb of Loftus, in Sydney's south.
