Tram route 109 is a tram service in Melbourne, Australia. It runs between a terminus in Box Hill and a terminus near Station Pier in Port Melbourne. The route runs along a light rail track between Port Melbourne and Southbank, using the right-of-way of the former Port Melbourne railway line, the first railway in Australia, which was converted to light rail in 1987. It is the most used route in Melbourne, with over 15.6 million trips per year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.yarratrams.com.au/about-us/who-we-are/facts-figures/ )〕 Unlike most tram routes in Melbourne, it falls within Myki ticketing Zone 1 and Zone 1/2. At Box Hill, it links with train services at Box Hill railway station, as well as many bus routes that run to Centro Box Hill shopping centre. ==History== The origins of route 109 lie in separate tram lines, a cable tram from Spencer Street to the Yarra River, a horse tram from the Yarra River to Kew Cemetery, an electric line from Kew Junction to Box Hill (extended over the years), and the Port Melbourne railway line. A cable line was opened by the Melbourne Tramway and Omnibus Company from Spencer Street to Brunswick Street along Collins Street, MacArthur Street, Gisborne Street and Victoria Parade on 2 October 1886, and extended to the west side of the Yarra River along Victoria Parade and Victoria Street on 22 November 1886.〔 A connecting horse tram was built from the east side of the Yarra River to Kew Cemetery, along Barkers Road, High Street South and High Street, opening on 28 December 1887. The Prahran and Malvern Tramways Trust opened a line from High Street to Burke Road along Cotham Road on 30 May 1913. On 1 November 1914 the Prahran and Malvern Tramways Trust received permission to convert the horse tram line to electric traction, and the new electric line was opened on 24 February 1915.〔 The Prahran and Malvern Tramways Trust extended the Cotham Road line to Union Road, Mont Albert along Whitehorse Road, on 30 September 1916.〔 In 1929 the Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board started converting the Collins Street cable lines to electric traction, with the last cable tram running down Collins Street on 14 September 1929, and the first electric tram on 8 December 1929. At the same time the Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board built a new electric line down the centre of Victoria Parade to replace the cable line, which opened on 15 September 1929.〔 For the next six decades the Melbourne to Mont Albert tram was the famous Route 42, celebrated by a 1982 theatrical production, ''Storming Mont Albert by Tram'', which was performed on a specially-chartered Route 42 tram from the Mont Albert terminus to the city and return. The line was extended south west to Port Melbourne along Spencer St and the former Port Melbourne Railway on 21 December 1987 following the conversion of the Railway (along with the St Kilda Line) to light rail. The broad gauge track was re-gauged to standard gauge and the overhead voltage was reduced from 1500V DC to 600V DC with light rail platforms built adjacent to or near the former stations platforms. The other end of the line was extended from its original terminus at Mont Albert to Box Hill along Whitehorse Road, about , at the cost of $28 million, on 2 June 2003. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Melbourne tram route 109」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
