Voldsminde was a tram stop on the Lade Line of the Trondheim Tramway. It was operational between 1936 and 1988 and was the site of a tram depot from 1913. Between 1936 and 1958 it was the terminus of the line to Lademoen.
In 1913 the tram line to Lademoen was extended to Voldsminde and a new depot was built at the terminus.
In 1936 a loop was constructed at Voldsminde, extending the terminal station about a block.
After the tram to Lade was abandoned in 1988, the 11 brand new trams were stored at the depot at Voldsminde because the depot is located next to the Nordland Line.
After the trams were relocated to Gråkallbanen, the depot was converted to a skateboard park.

The Melbourne tram network began in 1884 with the construction of the Fairfield Horse Tramway. However, the purpose of the line was to increase land prices in the area, and it soon closed during the depression in 1890. The first genuine attempt to construct a tramway network was the construction of the Richmond cable tram line by the Melbourne Tramway & Omnibus Company in 1885. Over the next few years, 16 more cable tram lines were constructed, as well as numerous other horse tramways. The depression of the early 1890s slowed further expansion of the cable network. The first electric tram line was the Box Hill and Doncaster tramway which opened in 1889. This was a pioneering line in what was then the countryside and thus didn't receive much patronage. It closed in 1896. The next attempt at an electric tramway was Victorian Railways' St Kilda to Brighton line, which opened in 1906. Later that year, the North Melbourne Electric Tramway & Lighting Company opened lines to Essendon and Maribyrnong. Many local councils formed their own tramway trusts and built tramways within their own constituency. The most successful of these was the Prahran & Malvern Tramways Trust.
