List of former tramway junctions in Sydney


This is a list of former tramway junctions in Sydney, Australia, which were part of the network of trams in Sydney that existed up to 1961. It includes only junctions of tram lines that were designated with a name that included the word "Junction". Some junctions were also terminating locations or section points for fares and had greater public significance as a result. Some of the names of former tramway junctions remain in use, as the name of a suburb or locality, even though the tram lines no longer exist. In other cases, the names are no longer used, and their inclusion in this list is of historical relevance only. The list is in alphabetic order. Unofficial names are shown in single inverted commas.
