Tram No. 939 – Cuthberts

Tram 939 is an SW6 class tram built in Melbourne in 1946. It became Colonial Restaurant Car No. 3 in 1995, and worked in Melbourne until 2012. The BTM acquired the tram in 2014. No. 939 was adapted for our use in 2015-2016. This adaption included removal of the toilet and the creation of a small kitchen, complete with dishwasher and an espresso coffee machine. In 2020 the tram was withdrawn from service during the COVID-19 outbreak and is currently waiting adaptions which will improve the air flow and circulation within the saloon.
