Citadis Class Trams

7th April 2004

These are the first Low Floor trams for Melbourne tram network. The Citadis Class, first introduced by Yarra Trams (when the tram networ was split into 2 different companies) was built by Alstom in France. They are 3 section low floor trams and offer a new experience in travelling on Melbournes Trams, with 40 seats, new lighting, large windows and more. Tram drivers also got new modern technology to help drive the new tram. Yarra Trams ordered 36 trams, numbering from 3001-3036. They where built between 2001-2002. On the 27th of September 2001, 3001-3004 were handed over to Yarra Trams after a month or so of testing. Over the next 10 months the other 32 sets were shipped to Melbourne, tested and then put into service. These brand new trams are now they icon for the Route 109 Box Hill to Port Melbourne. The trams are a apart of the Project 109. Information on project 109 can be found on the Vicroads website.
