TransMollymook

**TransMollymook** is a private company that operates intercity, regional and suburban rail routes as well as bus services in Mollymook, Mauritzberg, Fornby, Gouglersville and Bolsward.

## History

TransMollymook was founded as Mollymook Tramways Board (MTB) in 1905. It took over various Mollymook tram services formerly operated by various private operators. Bus services began in 1923 as feeders to the tram system. Bus route identification was introduced in 1929.

In 1965 Mollymook Tramways Board expanded its services to Mauritzberg, Gouglersville and Fornby and started the operation of regional rail services. In 1973, lettered stopping patterns, inspired by the idea used on the Copenhagen S-train in Denmark, began to be used in the Anoka Line, along with the implementation of the skip-stop service on the line. The letters indicated the type of train, with no letter for all stops between Mollymook Central and Leicester (Taradale excluded), A and B for skip-stop between Mollymook Central and Anoka (Taradale excluded), C and D for express between Mollymook Central and Leicester, E for a midnight limited express service between Dutton Park and Leicester and S for a shuttle on the spur line that services between Harlingen and Taradale. Mollymook also introduced double-decker trains on its network.
