Getting the tram at Harbour City

Harbour City is on the Yellow Line and nothing else, so every tram through here is going one of two ways. It is about 18 minutes from St Peter's Square in the city centre on the Yellow Line, and 3.2 km away on the ground. On the Yellow Line it is stop 10 of 16. Counting both directions, 260 trams call on a normal weekday.

Questions about Harbour City

05:33, Monday to Thursday. Saturday and Sunday both start later; the table above has each day.

The last one leaves at 00:30, after midnight — it still counts as the previous day’s service, which is why timetables write it as a time past 24:00. Friday and Saturday run later still.

About 18 minutes to St Peter's Square on the Yellow Line, and the journey planner will do any other pair of stops.

260 a weekday counting both directions — roughly one every 15 minutes each way through the middle of the day.
