Great Brisbane stuff Don!
One
comment - there was only ever one tramway company - Brisbane Tramways Limited.
The Tramways Trust was set up at the expiration of the company's agreed term as
a stop gap measure until such time as the ownership and operation of the
enterprise could be sorted out. This happened in 1925 at the same time as the
'municipalisation' of a large number of local governments into the Brisbane City
Council. The BCC was made responsible for road public transport in its city
area, including the tramways. (the largest urban municipal area in Australia -
the BCC's budget is far greater than that of the entire State of Tasmania). The
BCC is still responsible for the bulk of public bus services within the greater
Brisbane area.

need to know the operating name of the tram lines in Sydney. I have
conflicting information. Then I can do them plus Melbourne and Hobart.
