Historical information

Photograph shows many electric trams and buses around the busy intersection of Flinders St and Swanston St. Rain has just eased and pedestrians scurry along footpaths and across the intersection towards Flinders St Station. The trams carry a white rectangle front and back below the driver’s cab windows — a war-time visibility measure. In these years Flinders St trams stopped on both sides of this intersection and safety zones are evident in all these locations.
