Sydney Tram Classification
Steam trams of the 1880s and 1890s had separate numbers for motors and trailers within each separate system and the unified numbering scheme was not introduced for the electric tramcars until 1890. Classification A statewide numbering scheme was required as isolated electric segments became joined and rolling stock interchanged and major maintenance performed at Randwick Bus Depot, Randwick Tramway Workshops. In 1905 a general alphabetical classification was introduced to the NSW Government Tramways. In general lettering indicated: * A and B were given to steam stock * C through to N (and later O, P and R) to electric cars based on seating capacity. * T was planned for trailers but not displayed * S indicated general service, non-passenger carrying stock * U for ballast motors * V for ballast trailers * W for electric water sprinklers. New types of electric trams continued to be allocated letters, with the exception of I, Q, Y and Z. Classes References {{SydneyTramNavbox ...

The P-class trams were a class of trams operated on the Sydney tram network.

Fitted with folding canvas doors in each compartment, conductors only had to push open one half of a door. The P-class trams were based at all depots on the main system except Rushcutters Bay, but worked to the Sydney Stadium, just past the depot between 1947 and 1959 out of Waverley and Dowling Street for special events, plus out to Watsons Bay for picnic specials. Most were withdrawn in 1959/1960. Four (1517 & 1573 at Randwick Tramway Workshops and 1562 & 1582 Eveleigh Railway Workshops) were refitted w ...
