December 2000 routes

This section provides a full list of the Melbourne train, tram and bus routes that were operational in December 2000. Please note that as this list had to be reconstructed from the 2002 list from available references, it may contain some inaccuracies.

Old hyperlinks are preserved where available. While the old links are often dead, they are still worth preserving for those wishing to search further through the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

Trains

Melbourne has an extensive electric train service.  All lines radiate from the central city.  Apart from the underground city loop, stations are above ground, and are spaced at one to two kilometre intervals.  Unlike tram services, which are largely confined to the inner suburbs, Melbourne's rail network reaches out to distant suburbs.

Train services on most lines are as follows:  Weekdays: every 15 or 20 min. Saturday: 20 min. Sunday morning: 30 min.  Sunday afternoon: 20 min.  Evenings: 30 or 40 min.  Service frequency on outer portions of some lines is about half these figures.  The main weekday timetable variations are more frequent services during peak periods and fewer services during December-January.

Trains travel in different directions through the City Loop, depending on the time of day and day of the week.  On weekdays the direction reverses at approximately 1:00pm, while weekend services run in the same direction day and night.  This is confusing to occasional travellers and reference to timetables is recommended if arrival times are critical.

Two companies operate urban passenger trains in Melbourne.  Bayside Trains serves the western and southern suburbs and Hillside Trains serve the northern and eastern suburbs.  In addition, V/Line Passenger trains serve some outlying areas – see the suburb index for details.   After midnight most suburbs near major railway lines are served by hourly Nightrider buses  on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Detailed maps of Melbourne's train and tram network appear on Chris Brownbill's Melbourne rail map and timetable index page and Mike Alexander's train and tram network map.    A map of the train system can also be downloaded here .  Readers should note that the accuracy of information presented on MelTrip.. depends on the extent to which these companies update their websites. 

Trams

Trams provide convenient and frequent (though somewhat slow) travel through Melbourne's inner suburbs.  Like the train system, most routes provide radial transport towards and away from the CBD.  However, in the inner eastern and southern suburbs, cross-radial routes provide convenient travel to a wide range of destinations.

Service intervals on most routes are as follows: Weekdays: 12 min.  Weekday evening: 20 min.  Saturday: 15 min.  Saturday evening: 20 min.  Sunday morning: 30 min.  Sunday afternoon: 15 min.  Sunday evening: 30 min.  Late evening services do not always run their full route.  Some routes run more frequently than the intervals mentioned above, with very frequent service along roads common to two or more routes.
