Trams began in Perth in 1899 and by 1913, we had 37 kilometres of track carrying imported trams. By 1958 , over 130 various trams had operated on the lines with many trams made at the Midland Railway Workshops that travelled to Nedlands, Claremont, Wembley, Osborne Park, Inglewood, Maylands, Welshpool, Como and South Perth. Lack of maintenance and investment during wartime and yellow bellied politicians saw the trams begin to vanish from the early 1950s. In 1950, Perth had a population of 311 00

Before the hum of buses and the screech of the Mandurah Line, Perth once echoed with the familiar rattle and clang of electric trams. From 1899 as further routes were added, together with other city track resulted in a 37 kilometre network by June 1913. At that time there were 53 trams in the fleet and further additions were made until the lines fell silent i 1958, trams were the heartbeat of the city—gliding through the tree-lined streets of Subiaco, Nedlands, Fremantle to Melville (1905-1952),
