Getting to The Alfred
Public transport and taxis
Tram works - St Kilda Road and High Street (13 - 27 October 2019)
Due to Metro Tunnel works for the new Anzac Station (near the Shrine of Remembrance), buses replace trams along St Kilda Road from 8.30pm Sunday 13 October to 6.30am Sunday 27 October. This impacts route 3/3a, 5, 16, 58, 64, 67 and 72 trams.
Buses also replace route 6 trams for the same period. This is due to tram track renewal works along High Street between St Kilda Road and Williams Road.
The replacement buses are low-floor for maximum accessibility however this depends on availability of these buses. If you need assistance getting on or off public transport, speak to Yarra Trams customer service staff along your route or alert your driver. Additional accessibility taxis will run along St Kilda Road.
If you are traveling to The Alfred on public transport during this time, you will need to plan ahead and allow additional time for your journey.
Up to date information can be found on the Yarra Trams website.
