On the night of the 2019 Winter Solstice, the Sydney Tramway Museum held its first Trams After Dark event in 5 years. Variotram 2107 was once again taken out for display, and proved a drawcard with visitors. Due to the unavailability of the Royal National Park line, the museum’s display in Sutherland Railway Substation building was opened for public viewing, providing passengers with an extra attraction. Sydney tramcars P 1497 and R1 1979, as well as Melbourne tram Z2 111, provided the evening’s services.
