Glenelg Tram

The Glenelg Tram is the historic tram service operating between Adelaide city centre and Moseley Square at Glenelg in South Australia. Operating since 1929, it is Adelaide's last remaining tram line and now part of the Adelaide Metro network. The 12 km route connects Victoria Square/Tarndanyangga to the coastal suburb of Glenelg, offering a scenic, heritage transport experience and direct access to Glenelg Beach and Jetty Road.

Visitors can expect a scenic tram ride between Adelaide CBD and the coast, passing through parklands, suburbs and along Anzac Highway before terminating at Moseley Square, a short walk from Glenelg Beach and Jetty. The service uses modern low-floor Flexity Classic and Citadis trams with large windows, sheltered stops with real-time displays, and frequent departures. The journey offers views of the city, suburban streetscapes and the seaside precinct at Glenelg.

The Glenelg Tramway opened on 14 December 1929 to replace the former Holdfast Bay steam railway, operated by the Municipal Tramways Trust. It is the only tram line to survive the closure of Adelaide's extensive tram network in the 1950s. The line was upgraded and extended through the city centre in the 2000s and now forms part of the Adelaide Metro tram network, retaining its historic corridor and significance as a continuous public transport link for over 95 years.

The tram is an iconic cultural symbol of Adelaide and Glenelg, representing historic public transport heritage and the coastal lifestyle of Holdfast Bay. It provides a valued community connection between the city and the seaside and is a distinctive visitor experience associated with Glenelg's identity as Adelaide's premier beachside destination.
