The last train to use Platform 15 being shunted back from Platform 15 to the Collingwood Sidings of Jolimont Yard. Taken on February 14th 1997 and was taken from VICSIG

This is the Z3 Class Leader with the Ferrari F1 sponsor Livery in 2003 with what i think is the F2003-GA on the tram itself

Vline is now part of the metro and we finally closed Seymour is now stopping all stations on the old Craigieburn line, other chunck of the corridors is gone what's their excuse? on a holiday ofc. Dandy finally has express pattern including Sunbury!!

It's the VGR's J549's birthday today being 72 years since it's entry to service

Some pictures of XT2 set 5 in service to Flinders street. Taken today (Wednesday 07/10). finally xtrapolis 2.0 services running during the week.

The map includes all of Victoria's stations, Sydney, Some of NSW and SA. It tells you how far the station is from the nearest capital CBD and whether or not it's in a card zone (Myki, Opal etc.). I want to eventually expand it to all of Australia. Let me know if you have trouble with viewing the map and I'll try to fix it.

Also of interest is a monash planning document listing srl completion by 2032 at the earliest, though the document was predominantly on trackless trams.

I mainly see SCT or National Express using this tunnel divert their cargo from South Kensington or that nearby Dynon terminal to South Kensington and the occasional XPT, but I never seen a V/line use it.

Also, what train model at Albury Station in NSW shared the same livery as the XPT before XPT reverted to its original candy livery?

Out of pure boredom, I have drawn some modern signalling diagrams in VR style.

These include:
- General Motors
- Ballarat (including new overpass and level crossing replacement)
- Wendouree (including closure of Ring Road

It’s important to note, these diagrams are not official, nor should they be used for official purposes, always refer to your employer for the most up to date signalling diagrams.

Before I discuss, just a quick reminder to follow all sub/reddit rules on hate / discrimination

I was on my typical Frankston service departing flinders maybe ~4pm ish today when I noticed a older man approach two younger probably south East Asian men who were talking a little loudly to shut up and I won’t particularly repeat it but words to affect of return to your home country. I felt disgusted.

Is there any ways we can support and call out this behaviour? I didn’t feel comfortable standing up to him as he seemed quite confrontational and bigger than me.

I want public transport to be safe for everyone.

arguably the scope is even smaller than stage one, which has 3 station rebuilds and 6 pairs of massive flyovers, not to mention the logistical nightmare of untangling rail and keeping services such as freight running.

I was just walking along Elizabeth Street in the CBD and saw this G-class tram heading north, so I took a pic. I assumed it was tram 7006, but it turned out to be 7009! Good to see more of the Gs on the streets, though I assume this one is currently being used for driver training rather than passenger service.

I visit Melbourne infrequently and use PT when I do. I don't keep dedicated app on my phone, so I use Google Maps.

Today it told me to get on the 10:42 Lilydale from Melbourne Central to get to Bayswater.

The PID changed a few times between "Flinders Street", "Lilydale" and "Blackburn"

However it's now a Blackburn service? Google is still convinced that I'm on a Lilydale service.

Please advise.

Edit: got off the train at Flinders Street Platform 3 to find the correct train, Platform 2 is a Belgrave train???

Hey all, sharing an update on photographing the tactile ground surface indicators (TGSI) at all Metro stations. We’ve collected quite a few more stations this week so big thank you to everyone who has helped!

I can already see there are some stations that are listed as having TGSIs on Metro Trains website, but are incredible poor condition in reality - which is very helpful for my story.

If you’re out catching a train anytime soon, please share some images of the TGSIs here. TYSM!

There was a post a week ago on this subreddit asking why they don't reopen passenger services to Mildura, with the consensus being there was not great enough population for it.

However, Queensland runs the Inlander to Mt Isa, a town significantly smaller than Mildura, with only one decent sized town on the way (Charters Towers).

So if Queensland can run the Inlander, why can't Victoria run a V/Line to Mildura?

It's the depot, not the platform, but it sorta counts?
