The only tram still operating in Adelaide is the Glenelg Tram, which runs from Victoria Square in the city to the coast at Moseley Square, Glenelg. It was the last significant tram extension built in Adelaide, in 1929. It was originally slated to be closed with the rest of the tram system in 1958, but was retained as it was thought it still had 10 years of life left in it.
