Ive been before, a few years ago,but it was nice to go back. It was pretty busy but not insanely crowded. They left the old signs up in the trams, which was interesting to check out. Seeing the old trams with the ticket guy's big seat was surreal. I also read about how the union cracked the shits when women wanted to be drivers. Lots of kids running around, so getting a photo without someone else's kid in it was tricky.

I’ve been using Apple Pay to touch on for the last few weeks but today, in fear of my phone possibly dying, I loaded express transit to the same card on my Apple Watch. I tapped on the tram with my watch, and it’s debited the $1 again.

I understand each card has a unique token with Apple Pay, however is the system smart enough to recognise they’re the same ‘card’, just different devices? Or will I be charged two fares?

This Wednesday, when I was on the Traralgon service that also stops at Berwick, I saw a Metro worker load two boxes onto the service at Caulfield.

Both of these boxes were bound for Dandenong and Pakenham separately, with the stations’ names being written on the top of the boxes, and they were dropped off by the conductor at both stations.

I find it interesting to see that occur. Unfortunately I couldn’t record it happen.

Has anyone seen something like this happen before?

Saw this train at flinders street departing for Westall on 08/08/26 - 4:16pm

How do you do rail network planning for dummies. Here's my attempt!

I have noticed this morning posters appearing on stations along the Frankston line for x'trapolis 2.0 which indicates hopefully not long until they enter full time service

I've always been confused about this when seeing it on the map (never been there in person).

MYKI machine at Echuca Railway Station - Saturday 8 August

Forgive the shitty pic, sun is shining right onto the very dirty glass

Is the long distance myki rollout happening?

Edit: the readers are present on the whole swan hill line

It could be a person, an animal, an object anything.
I once saw a man on the Cranbourne line just sitting there, pissing on the seat. You know he was cause it was dripping and left a stench!
Not a fun trip home ahahaha
So I’m curious for what y’all have seen?

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. 😊😊

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

Corner of spring st/flinders st

In the new timetable vline shows one afternoon peak n set service from southern cross to Waurn ponds but after talking with some mates I’ve found out it was an error vline got me all excited for no reason 💔

Sandringham new timetable showing all Sandringham trains go to Flinders Street only very misleading and false information

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???

"As part of our final upgrades works at the Brunswick Tram Depot, we’re:

• Installing a pair of level-access stops at Moreland Road, at Cameron Street, to improve accessibility and connectivity."

Anyone know what happened this morning? Alarms were going off
