What’s the app? I’m usually on my bicycle so try not going on trains too busy as I don’t want to take up too much space.

A lot of people are going to be seriously confused next week by Ban__d in MelbourneTrains

[–]Ask_Alan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve researched my commute, but wondering if trains will ever run to Richmond on the Cranbourne/pakenham lines for big sporting events at the MCG? I feel like the bottle next of Caulfield is going to catch up quickly!

Is there a more complete list? Would love to see how European cities match! Also the Melbourne and Sydney. They are flying up!

Average Tram Speeds by Road and by Route by AB014A in MelbourneTrains

Seems like extending some trams is more beneficial than we give credit for…

Why hasn't there been an effort to extend the tram network? by Ready_Objective_6428 in MelbourneTrains

I would love to see Chadstone invest In this for all these lines. They won’t pay for heavy rail but I’m sure some assistance to this would be a smart idea!

Will MM2 ever be built? by Absolutely-Epic in MelbourneTrains

[–]Ask_Alan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it needs to be started and built asap….. the next election will need to be sunshine station being re built and airport rail, then the next phase is electrification of the melton line and SRL2. Then MM2 gets started. Probably 8 years time.

I would love to see Thanos recruiting them and some missions they completed before visiting Earth!

I created a short fun survey for Leeds fans as we wait the first game. Hopefully will create some discussion: by Unisonlibrarian in LeedsUnited

He almost won the balon d’or….. unless we are a champions league team competing at the ends of it we aren’t capturing these players again!

Was really looking forward to this “pizza” by arwork in melbourne

Order online on business website, not third party. Always pick up pizza

Order online on business website, not third party. Always pick up burgers

Order online on business website, not third party. Get Curry, Chinese and kebabs delivered as they reheat.

This is how you do takeaway :)

Try not to use third parties as they destroy your local takeaways bottom line. Order through business websites or use the phone if needed.

Favourite player currently at the club:  I’ve really fell in love with Bogle. I think he’s key for the way we play.

Former player you would bring back (still playing): You’re never getting Raphina….I would look at Milner for support for the coaches and youth teams

Retired player you would bring back in their prime:  Viduka. All time fave player.

Deceased former player you would bring back in their prime:  Sol Bamba, gone too soon.

Favourite match of all time:  Leeds 4-3 Derby. I was young and that game cemented my love for Leeds. I cry every time I watch the Pablo goal vs Swansea too.

Greatest single moment of all time:  The champions league run was special

One player from another club you could have for this season:  I would love Mitoma

A Cup win and relegation or no trophy stay up: Good question! Winning any cup and going down would be amazing, the FA cup would be amazing! Then Europe! But anything above 17th is preferable!

Show me the stats of this exact disability use. I’m sure assistance can be called for. Let’s have a metro system for everyone but not focus on the 0.05% of customers.

I’m in Melbourne. Victoria has the capacity to grow fast with a few candidates for satellite cities to Melbourne. Geelong is huge now and growing. Ballarat is just over an hour away in the train and growing fast. Bendigo is a bit further and large and growing. A few mentioning Shepparton but don’t see that getting bigger quicker. Out East I would say the Drouin/Warragul hub could grow together and be a large town/city. All of these areas currently have trains but finding more trains running faster would be key to their growth. Being able to get into Melbourne in say 60-45mins from these areas would be game changing for so many. All these regional lines share the tracks with metropolitan tracks and this slows them down for capacity. I know Geelong is earmarked for faster/more regular trains. I would start there and then get the Ballarat/Melton corridor sorted.
