The
tram line along Kingsford Smith Drive to Hamilton and Ascot was closed in April
1969. I am not sure of exact opening dates, but there was definately a route
along the side of the river there quite early on, probably even before the First
World War.
Two
routes ran along there - Ascot - Oriel Park and Ascot - Doomben, with services
alternating between the two terminii from Balmoral. The last tram to leave
Brisbane streets, FM 534 was the last departure from Ascot - OP and hence the
last tram along Kingsford Smith Drive - late Sunday night 13 April
1969.

Subject: [TramsDownUnder] Brisbane Tram line Question
We are trying to date a photo of Brisbane and we know its pre'55 . The
pic shows Kingsford Smith Drive at Hamiliton and there are no tram
lines showing (cant see the road itself in pic). I'm postive that a
tram ran along there . Possibly the tram wasnt put in till post WWW2 .
Does anybody know any info regarding this , thanks .

lot of memories
