Sydney's steam [[Trams in Sydney|tramways]] first reached Coogee in [[1883]] and were electrified in [[1902]]. The [[Trams in Sydney|trams]] were replaced by buses from time to time in the 1940s and 1950s as the infrastructure suffered severe neglect during and after WWII. The tracks were deemed too expensive to repair and the power supply was so inadequate that [[Trams in Sydney|trams]] would grind to a halt in incovenient locations. Eventually the entire [[Trams in Sydney|Sydney tram network]] was scrapped and replaced by buses. The last trams ran to Coogee in [[1960]].
