Throwback Thursday!

This c1985 pic shows Box Hill station after it was rebuilt in its current form.

We've decided all new or rebuilt stations will use this design, as who doesn't love shitty 1980's aesthetic?

Metro 6.05pm Update:

V/Line services are operating at reduced speed due to a trespasser in the Sunshine area.

Our services are operating at normal speed in the Sunshine area. If this trespasser wants to fuck around he’ll find out.

Metro 5.45pm Update:

Some minor delays and cancellations across the network this evening but at least you can all enjoy this beautiful sunny weather we’re having, right?

#MetroTrains

Ticket thugs will be out and about tomorrow ready to fine anyone caught without a valid Myki.

We're really looking forward to all of that sweet, extra cash.

Victorians enjoyed a free ride for two months. That ends on Monday

After two months, public transport is going to cost us money again. But some are making the case to make it free forever.

The Age

This is why we increase Myki fares each year: because we’re forced to pay employees what they think they are owed.

The train line robbery: How Metro Trains underpaid its own workers

A dispute over millions of dollars in superannuation has resulted in workers taking on both Metro Trains and their own unions to get their entitlements.

Throwback Thursday!

This pic (photog unkwn) shows Princes Bridge Station as it appeared in the 1880's.

Flinders Street Station - in its current form - had not yet been built, meaning big titty goth girls had no steps to congregate on back then.

Good morning Melbourne!

Major delays on the Frankston line this morning due to some bullshit reason that’s entirely our fault but somehow it becomes your problem.

Possibly my most Mastodon and/or aus.social recent possession.

One of my colleagues often says when us fellow techs are getting very specifically detailed nerdy,
"so, what flavour of autism are you?".

This.
It's, this.

Throwback Thursday!

This 1909 pic shows racegoers alighting a train at Sandown Park, heading for racetrack adjacent.

The train was a popular choice in this era, mainly because Uber hadn’t been invented yet.
