My wife just asked me this question as our apartment overlooks a tram stop. Where do the trams go at night? I'm guessing a depot, but where is it? (she also wants to know how the drivers get home when the trams aren't running).

NOBODY KNOWS
And... It's called a remise where they go in Dutch.

Goole Maps' 1 April shatkaart modus is nice (naast sateliet etc). Ook in streetview, yarrr!
And another. (put it in 'satellite mode')
There's a big tram hotel at the end of the Havenstraat. The sounds of trams slowly reaching their resting place is very cosy! The drivers either have their car/bike parked there or carpool in a taxi bus.
for the wife huh? I know what you're up to, be careful they got a lot of cctv cams on top of the gates

Quite a few drivers would live within cycling distance of the depot, some come by car, and of course there are also the night buses. Obviously as service winds down in the evening, the number of drivers on the last runs of the day is fairly small anyway.
