Well there goes Melbourne's rail network... And it only took one hot day to reach Metro Bingo. They even got the Stony Point Line!

I am making good use of free public transport on weekends in Victoria. Both days this weekend I am taking a trip to Dandenong.

This morning I walked the new underground walkway between Flinders St and the new Town Hall station. It has grey tiles on the wall. Once the floor is covered with stains and old chewing gum, it will probably look fairly dingy.

Today I took a weekend free train trip to Bell station on the Mernda line. I was struck by how cathedral-like it looked.

I like that they put extra effort into the design of it.

I am availing myself of the summer free weekend public transport in Victoria. It feels strange not to need my Myki card with me.

Well this is interesting on Day 2 of the #MetroTunnel and first weekday of operations.

The interchange between Flinders Street and Town Hall Stations is closed when trains have stopped running for the day.

The station itself is open to enter from Collins Street at City Square.
