Lutwyche is a northern inner-city suburb of Brisbane, located 5 km from the city's central business district. Named after Justice Alfred Lutwyche, who once owned land in the area, it is currently a bustling residential hub, housing a major shopping centre and serviced by Brisbane City Council buses.
Prior to December 1968 the suburb was served by frequent tram services which converged along Lutwyche Road, from Chermside, Kalinga (until 1962) and Stafford, with the Stafford line branching off at Bradshaw Street, Lutwyche. Further south Grange trams branched off Lutwyche Road at Maygar street, on the border of Lutwyche and Windsor. These services combined to provide an off-peak service of a tram every 2 minutes along Lutwyche Road in the late 1950s.
