Service on Wentworth was replaced by the Wentworth-Stuart route, which connected the Mount Hamilton Incline Railway at the top of Wentworth to the second Stuart St station at Stuart & Caroline via Wentworth, King, James and Stuart.

With the closing of the second Stuart St station in 1930, all service on Stuart St was discontinued. The Wentworth-Stuart route was discontinued, with Wentworth service now handled by the Wentworth-Burlington route.
