A horse-drawn tramway commenced operation in Adelaide on the 10th of June, 1878. However, in 1885 the Melbourne Tramway and Omnibus Company began operating Melbourne's first cable tram line. The first service ran from Spencer St/Flinders St, to Hawthorn Bridge. As the city grew, the technical limits of the cable tram system became apparent, and electric trams were developed and implemented. The first electric tram began operations in Melbourne in 1889, and ran from Box Hill Station to Doncaster. For a variety of reasons, it soon fell into disrepair. The first "serious" electric tram in Melbourne began operating on 5 May 1906, and ran between St Kilda and Brighton.
