Pakenham passengers have to catch Frankston line and change at Caulfield.
Train pulls up at Caulfield, doors open and the train we’re meant to change to literally departs.
Now an 11 minute wait for the next one.
This is how not to run a network.

Today I learnt that the Montreal Subway, with rubber wheeled trains, is the forth busiest in North America behind NYC, Mexico City and Toronto.
Amazing given only 3 lines (yellow isn’t really a line).

Dandenong corridor passengers forced to change at Caulfield for CBD trains today. Carlton plays North Melbourne at the G (ONLY 40-50k crowd).

Welcome to @metrotrains
We’re testing #MM1 so have closed Dandy between City & Caulfield
Directly after the footy we’ll make passengers squeeze on to an incredibly narrow platform & wait 9 min for a Frankston train
Don’t push there will be another 12 min after this one leaves

At the going down of the sun

We will remember them.

The calm before the storm. How lucky are we to have such a magnificent local pool?
We almost didn’t. Council planned to shut this famous local institution 20 years ago, but it was saved by local residents and ratepayers in a massive community campaign.
What are your favourite memories?

We've been making the point for a very long time, in many creative ways, that better mobility in cities is fundamentally about space. If everyone takes too much space trying to move around, no one moves well.

Two days of 30 degrees followed by four days in the low 20’s is not “extreme heat”.
This merely proves that our infrastructure is woefully inadequate.
We must do better.

Men are starting to have the conversation about ending the national crisis of gender-based violence.
We need to: talk to our friends, recognise the warning signs, challenging abusive behaviours, and listening to women/survivors without judgement or defensiveness.
It all starts with respect!

The annual Westgate Street Christmas Party. 26 years and going strong.
This is what community is all about: local residents (young and old) coming together to enjoy each others company.
Always a pleasure to be invited along - a highlight of the year.
