As with other W-class trams, they are commonly found on the City Circle, and are popular with tourists. At their introduction, W6 class trams were popular with passengers and crew alike for being fast, smooth and comfortable. Today a total of 4 are in service in Melbourne with Yarra Trams. W6 class trams initially begun as a sub group of the SW6-class trams, but later became their own class. They are similiar to the W7-class trams. Two of the trams are in the hands of preservation groups, one of which is used as a caf tram in Bendigo. External links
