TMSV: History of the North Melbourne Electric Tramway & Lighting Company The Puckle Street line was closed on 12 January 1924, whilst the original Victoria Street connection between Mt Alexander Road and Racecourse Road was closed on 4 August 1929, being replaced by the current direct Racecourse Road line to Flemington Road. This was to build an electric tramway from the MTOC terminus at Flemington Bridge to North Essendon along Mt Alexander Road and Buckley Street. This was the only part of the tramway outside the municipalities of Flemington and Essendon, being in the Borough of Kensington. www.tmsv.org.au /papers/nmetl.htm

The Flemington and Kensington Community Website On 30 August, 1856, a Crown grant was made to the Melbourne City Council for cattle saleyards on the south side of Racecourse Road, Newmarket, and the abattoirs adjoining the saleyard to the south-west. Flemington and Kensington borough was formed by severance from Essendon and Flemington borough on 17 March, 1882. Census figures for Flemington and Kensington have been 1,291 (1861), 10,946 (1901) and 12,860 (1991). home.vicnet.net.au /~flemweb/localhistory_ken.html

Flemington, Victoria When Flemington and Kensington borough was created in 1882 it met in a hall at 323 Racecourse Road Newmarket, by then an active area with three hotels but only a few shops. In 1851 the Flemington bridge over the Moonee Ponds Creek was built, improving the connection to the gold diggings' road out of Melbourne. In 1906 tramlines were opened along Mt. Alexander Road and Racecourse Road (Newmarket), a year after the borough was united with Melbourne city. www.arts.monash.edu.au /ncas/multimedia/gazetteer/list/flemington.html

Community Locals swear that when the Tullamarine Freeway was built in the early ’70s, the Country Roads Board promised the people of Flemington that it would provide a pedestrian overpass so they could continue to have access to Royal Park without having to cross Flemington Road. Spurred on by a downhill stretch parallel with the Upfield railway line, near an interesting geological exposure, we made our way to Moonee Ponds Creek and to one of the main miracles of the Capital City Trail - the footbridge that allows traffic-free passage from Royal Park to the creek. While the result fell short of his ambitious goal, a series of parks was created around inner Melbourne, and these became the building blocks for the trail and the open-space system it traverses. www.database.net.au /Community/displayContent.asp?contentID=30

TMSV: Tramway level crossings in Victoria The first of these was the electrification of suburban railway system from 1919 (testing was done on the Flemington Racecourse line from 1915), which introduced the complexity of intersecting overhead at different voltages — 1500V DC for the trains, and 600V DC for the trams. They were located in Fitzroy Street, Carlisle Street and Glenhuntly Road, and all were uncontrolled. In Bendigo, all crossings between tram lines and railways were by grade separations, with the 1942 extension to North Bendigo to service the Ordnance Factory being terminated at the Thunder Street level crossing, due to VR’s instance on an overbridge if it were to be extended any further. www.tmsv.org.au /papers/lvlcross.htm
