'Australian Locomotive Rosters' was first started by Brad Peadon and Daven Walters in 2000. It took the form of a book that we had published through Railmac. This website is compiled by Brad Peadon, in a joint effort with Bradly Coulter and Daven Walters. Recently we trialed some fleetlists on the main 'Semi Retired Foamer' website. Such was the popularity, we have decided to move them to their own site. Initially, we will were sticking with the SRF theme of covering locomotive types that were around in the 80s and 90s. However we are now beginning to expand our coverage.

Now Open: 'Australian Locomotive Rosters' group. This will be a contributor only group to both share latest fleet changes and help us to update..

MELBOURNE C2 TYPE TRAM -


Website: Brad Peadon 

Listing: Bradly Coulter

Photos: Both Brads

Update: 17-7-2026

----------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------



The C2-class trams are five low-floor articulated trams that entered service in Melbourne in 2008. Built by Alstom in France as part of the Citadis family, they were originally intended for operation in Mulhouse before being leased to Melbourne to help ease tram shortages. Their modern design, air-conditioned interior and full low-floor layout made them popular with passengers, particularly those requiring improved accessibility.

Although only a small class, the C2 trams have become a familiar sight on Melbourne's network, operating solely on Route 96. Their distinctive European styling sets them apart from Melbourne's largely locally built fleet, adding a touch of continental flavour to the city's famous tram system while continuing to provide reliable service many years after their arrival.
