Brunswick tram depot

 * ... that Brunswick tram depot, one of Melbourne tram network's eight depots, was built in 1936 for £30,030?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article was 5x expanded the day before nomination, per DYKcheck. Proselength exceeds 1,500 characters. Sources have been checked for reliability and no copyvio observed; facts supported by sources (a few minor corrections made to conform with source). Vicsig is not an official site, but as the Government is citing their maps I'll take it that they're reliable for these purposes. No BLP, neutrality issues. (I mean, really?) I corrected a grammatical error in the hook (build->built); hook is verified by source. (If you really want to quibble, that's the cost of the tender, but I can't find any evidence of cost overruns.) Hook's a little dry—maybe there's an alternate to be had based on the Royal visit, but I can't really think of one. Choess (talk) 03:26, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Forgot to mention-nominator has 2 DYKs so no QPQ required. Choess (talk) 03:27, 2 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree that the hook is quite dry, so propose as an alternative:
 * ... that when Queen Elizabeth II visited Melbourne in 2011 she rode a specially decorated tram driven by a Brunswick tram depot driver?
 * The royal tram is just visible in the picture of the depot, but this image of the royal tram could also be used (right). Liamdavies (talk) 06:04, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
