Good morning Melbourne!
The Vic Govt will today announce free public transport will run until the end of May with half price fares from June 1st until the end of the year.
We're announcing we're reducing all timetabled services by half from June 1st. It's only fair.
This gives us a great idea...
Throwback Thursday!
This Nov 1983 pic shows the Box Hill reconstruction, in which the station was reconfigured and moved underground.
Over 40 years have passed, so it's likely some of the people shown are now dead and are now also underground.
Good morning Melbourne!
Geelong Vline services will not stop at Corio today due to a FRV request.
Our services will also not stop at Corio today. Or any day for that matter.
Good morning Melbourne!
Due to ongoing delays with the delivery of our new Xtrapolis 2.0 trains, we've implemented some temporary measures to keep our network running.
Metro 5.15pm Update:
Delays on the Alamein, Belgrave, Glen Waverley and Lilydale lines due to an equipment fault near Melbourne Central.
Nothing's actually broken, we just like trotting out the generic "equipment fault" excuse whenever possible.
Throwback Thursday!
This March 1986 Rob Alenka pic shows X34 leading a Geelong-bound passenger service at Werribee.
Today, Geelong services bypass Werribee via the Regional Rail Link because .. well, Werribee.
A reminder that daylight saving ends this evening and clocks go back one hour at 3am.
This does not apply to our train services, which will continue to operate on their own unique interpretation of time.
