I created the above maps by overlaying OpenStreetMap (OSM) maps with my own data. Copyright on the OSM maps is © OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under a CC-BY-SA (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 licence).

Please note that the OSM maps used as templates for these maps correspond to the situation at the time the maps were downloaded and may show features that did not exist at the time the GS Tram Site is supposed to show. In particular, they may show bridges and highways that were built later.


TRAM ROUTES

Operator: Sydney Tramways

Tram routes in Sydney were identified by their termini. The numbers used on the maps and below are strictly for convenience, and were never used by Sydney Tramways itself. Routes ending in A and B (e.g. 12A and 12B) are only distinguished on the maps where they diverge - where they both run, only the number (e.g. 12) is shown.
