Wellington Tramway Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wellington Tramway Museum is at Queen Elizabeth Park, off McKay’s Crossing between Paekakariki and Paraparaumu, and has been operating trams there since 1965. The museum is 45 km from Wellington.

The museum has nearly 4 km of track in Queen Elizabeth Park, and four operational trams from the closed Wellington system, two double-saloons and two single-saloon Fiducias. They run most weekends and public holidays (see website).

There is also one tram being restored and four in storage, plus a Brisbane tram and some trolley-buses and tram bodies. The museum is open every Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 4.30pm and daily from boxing day to the end of January.
