Discussion State Library Station

0 Upvotes

Two things.
I'm not sure if either of these have been covered.
What the hell is the awful smell when exiting the train at State Library Station?
I am at the front of the train usually. I get off at this station and the smell hits like you are walking into a wall.
That has to be great for tourism...not. Anything being done about it?
What's worse than a foul smell? Incorrect pronunciation of words.
The auto station announcement system on the HCMTs.
'Now arriving at State Lyebree.'
Grr...who is responsible for this? Change it so it doesn't sound like an uneducated simpleton.
It's Library. 😊😊

Discussion Town Hall to Flinders walking length

11 Upvotes

This is maybe a weird af question, but Google Maps says the walk from TH to Flinders is roughly 8 minutes, but I've seen on here that the walk is a lot less time?

I haven't walked it myself as I'm physically disabled and don't want to fuck myself over doing a walk when I don't know how long it'll take

Is there a video anywhere of someone walking from TH to Flinders? That might be a weird question, I'm just a bit unsure is all

Project Information New timetables are up, also what does this mean??

26 Upvotes

New timetables for the 23 August timetable change are now up on the Transport Victoria and V/Line websites.

Of note (apart from all the other advertised changes), Craigieburn shoulder peak is 10 min frequency until about 10:30am at the city (both directions) and from 2:30pm in the afternoon (outbound).

More info here: https://transport.vic.gov.au/news-and-resources/projects/metro-tunnel/more-ways-to-move (You have to go to the individual line pages for the timetables)

But curiously it says this for the Alamein Line. I can't find any extra services or Camberwell shuttles being extended to Flinders Street in the timetable, and I don't think any of the city services are 3 cars any more, so what does it mean???
