This tram route is famous for its windiness, and the traverse through Royal Park for some distance. The route also includes a ride past the Royal park zoo with an occasional peek at the elephant's shed and the The State Netball Hockey Centre. It is frequented by lesser quality trams but these are slowly being upgraded.

During the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games the route was merged with route 5 Malvern to alleviate congestion along St Kilda Road services. The temporary through routing was useful in helping daily commuters utilise other connection train stations at the city's west end, namely at Flagstaff station. At Domain Interchange, a junction was instated. This set of switches has since been disabled after the demerger. The route 55 has since terminated at the original terminus of Domain Interchange.
