 Back in April 2010, A2 class tram 264 was still in the original uninspired Yarra Trams livery of grey with green and blue decorative stripes front and rear. The tram is on reserved track, north of the city, having left Preston heading for St Kilda on the 112. |
 After amalgamating with M>Tram the livery was brightened up, replacing the battleship grey with white. The first A2 class tram, 259, is seen outside the Cathedral in August 2008. |
 An unusual site one evening early in 2012 at the St Kilda terminus of route 112. At this time of the evening trams are running at lower frequencies, so two arriving at St Kilda together is not scheduled. Whether mechanical failure had overcome A1 245 was unclear. Luckily there was enough room for the B class to slide in behind and move off in the reverse direction, clearing the points to switch tracks. Car 245 disappeared on the link line into Fitzroy Street - not scheduled for regular use - and presumably returned to the city via the reserved tracking for route 96.

 The A2 class had better brakes and door mechanisms compared to the A1 cars, amongst other improvements. They were delivered between 1985 and 1987 and partly funded by BiCentennial programme. They were the first trams delivered with pantographs, the A1 cars were retrofitted in 1987. Seen here, A2 car 269 is on the section of reserved track between Port Melbourne and Southbank of route 109 in March 2012. This route is usually operated by C class Citadis trams. |

 Around the same time, car 294 is also caught on the 109 in Spencer Street heading for Port Melbourne. |
