Maidstone tram depot


Maidstone tram depot is a depot on the Yarra Trams network in Melbourne. It is located on Hampstead Road, Maidstone near the intersection with Williamson Road, on part of the site of the former Student Village. The Maidstone depot is the home for the new G-class trams, the first of which was delivered to the depot in September 2025.
The construction of the depot involved building a spur pair of tracks on Williamson Road from tram route 82 which will then turn left onto Hampstead Road before they turn right into the new depot.
