Colored yellow and blue, but sometimes other colors due to advertisements, the tramcar is well known among tourists and locals for the famous phrase "Watch the tramcar, please," which is the pre-recorded alert using the voice of local Floss Stingel to clear the tramcar's path of pedestrians. The fee for using the tramcar is $2.00. Operating hours are 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Operating season is from Easter Weekend to mid-September.

TMSV: Geelong Pengelley tram No 22 (216 words)
These were the largest and heaviest single truck passenger tramcars built in Australia, and also the last to be built with clerestory roofs, and they were the last new cars built for service in Geelong, as all subsequent additions to the fleet were purchased from the M&MTB.
These tramcars were also notable for their use of the Brill Radiax truck, whose only other use in Victoria was with the MBCTT T class tramcars.
This tramcar was acquired without a truck in 1969 — that of T class 182 being acquired from the M&MTB and modified for use when this vehicle is restored.
