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).
By the time we reached Armadale passengers left on the platform. This will be the norm with #MM1
Better planning required by PTV & Metro #MoreServicesPlease

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

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
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?

36 years ago, 24 people made the ultimate sacrifice at Nakatomi. May their courage and resilience live on, even in the face of impossible odds.

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!

What’s wrong with people? Why do this to Bus and Tram shelters? That’s literally public money that could be better spent on something else. 🤬🙄

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.

Happy 11 years of marriage to this eternal spunk. Couldn’t have imagined a better journey, or a more amazing person to do experience it with.
With the kids this time, back at the place where it all began, Mahjong in St Kilda. Food and service as terrific as it’s always been.

There is no point having an “accessible” Tram stop if the kerb isn’t adjusted to suit.

Standing room only on the 20 minute frequencies at 10pm on a Thursday. And this is the busiest train line on the network. Other lines have much worse frequency.
Unacceptable for a city of 5 million. No wonder people drive.

Did you know that NSW has 34% of the WORLD’s poker machines?
Or that last year there were a total of 1 MILLION gambling ads on free-to-air television alone?
Or that, on average, each adult loses $1,527 to gambling every year? 1/5

“Why do we have to press this button?”
“To make the light go green otherwise it just stays red”
“Why?”
“Because that’s the way it works”
“But why? Cars don’t have to press a button”
I have nothing. #BegButton
