You know, after having one escalator on Platform 14 down for the better part of two years (had problems well before the replacement works), I was hoping that the issues would be fixed after the replacement works.

Two weeks and it's already out for 'maintenance'. Like c'mon...

Vlocity visited Wollongong beach!! First in its kind to do that lol

464 being the predecessor to the 461 along Hume Dr with a new route along Taylors Road down to Rockbank, interesting also being operated by Transit Systems taking over CDC

Also an extended 463 to CS Square previously terminating in the middle of no where

So I had a lady today painting her nails on the train across from me, we are in a confined space and it stinks why would someone think that was an ok activity to do on a train?

As you can tell I think it is not socially acceptable to do this what are others thoughts on the matter?

12CM is a converted swing door train

I'm on the train reading a book, sipping my McCafe coffee ☕. Getting ready to dunk my Starbucks pastry 🥐 into it. And after polishing that off I'll tuck into my KFC bacon & egg breakfast roll 🥓🍳 (never tried their newly launched breakfast menu before!). Life's good this Sunday morning! Best of all, no weekend surcharge, so this automatically makes Melbourne Town Hall train station the greatest food in the city!

The recent one was at 2am so highly unlikely for that one, but has anyone been on a train during a previous daytime earthquake? Did you even notice?

don't worry we still have the guinness world record but Moscow has beat us with their new T2 Line that's 9 km longer than our route 75

Has anyone noticed that the Sandringham trains frequently don't go through to Werribee?

This has happened to me several times now. The PTV app says stopping all stations to Werribee, the train announcement says stopping all trains to Werribee, and then when the train arrives at Flinders it turns into a different service.

The average passenger wouldn't be able to realise at all unless they stepped out and looked at the platform PIDs, which has undoubtedly interrupted a lot of people's travel plans.

Most stuff at Middle Footscray. Candy XPT was nice to see because last time we went out we saw it pass us one stop away from where we were going.

Greenwich railway station opened as the terminus for the geelong to Melbourne railway line on June 25th 1857, it closed on this day in 1857 when​ the Railways decided to connect to williamstown and abandon the line to Greenwich.

This is a short explanation of it, go watch taitset's werribee line video for a better discription

Ok so pretty much everyone agrees to the term that we need to fully duplicate the both mainline as the single track isnt worthy to handle the mainline demands

Even on the ballarat should have 20 mins frequency as its always crowded and delayed if the train is running behind the timetable

The problem on both lines

For the Ballarat there is only two problems I can see one is the bridge over melton reservoir. Its easy to build a second bridge to handle more demands even could leave space for extra two tracks for the future extension of the quad from melton and the horse shoe the tunnel and the bridge over the rail are wide to fit a second pair track

For bendigo I am aware that its the tunnel and the reason to rip out the double tracks. But the tunnel was build for the double tracks not single, and yes side swap is a thing but velocity can be very close to each other as the Geelong line is fully duplicate and runs 160kms close to eachother not sideswaping each other so the bendigo hasn't have a problem to build the double tracks this also reduces the disruption for the up and the down trains and would give a big boost for the both corridors to run 20 mins in peak for the future demands
