History buffs are in for a treat as the Brisbane Tramway Museum commemorates the closure of the Adelaide Street Tram with a bus tour of tram routes including the Chermside Tram Route.
It will be a nostalgic day on Sunday 2 December 2018, when Leyland Panther buses from Queensland Omnibus & Coach Society (QOCS) travel along some of the old tram routes in Brisbane’s northside.
This year marks the 50th year since the last tram service was completely terminated to make way for bus services.
