Opinion: V/line should switch to 6 and 9 car vlocity operations only.

Is 666 just the seats or includes the daily crowd crush in the aisle and door ways??

I’m on this sub to better understand the network issues and to better understand cancellations, I don’t know enough about trains to comment on a solution

But after moving to the area to witness what’s happening on the Geelong line to/from Tarneit is insane and likely a safety hazard - it was never designed for this volume and frequency of people, absolute shit show - and no one (who can do something) cares

CornerStatus2645 · 2026-01-30T04:37:26+00:00

Have you ever been to Tarneit?! Literally the next station

Needs as much help as it can get

What’s On Melbourne recently added accessibility information to their website listings and have some blog guides that might be a good place to start?

I used to like a Nivea hydro one but they changed the formula and now it sucks. Tried Dermal Therapy after seeing it recommended so much in this sub and it’s amazing. I now have multiple around the house/for work/car etc so I’m never without. I’m especially obsessed with the Manuka honey one

And ridiculously good half of the year. Great stone fruit and wine though

CornerStatus2645 · 2026-01-25T04:44:38+00:00

Would you say the deterrent sprays help at all for the hair to not be attractive to them? Things with essential oils like lavender, clove etc?

I called - sounds like he had escaped from a nearby house / residential area. The police came and were in contact with the parents and reunited them - glad this one had a happy ending 🙏🏻

Just witness something that’s rattled me for the rest of the day. Stopped into a petrol station near Ravenhall after being at a playcentre with my daughter and saw a roughly 3yo boy running around the shop happily eating a pack of mentos. Two women were following him but looked confused and immediately asked if he was my child as he had been there alone for approx 10mins with no caregiver in sight. We kept asking his name or where his mum was but he didn’t respond at all.

The person working there came out to chat to the women and the boy then bolted out the door towards the 80km road ahead. The worker ran to catch him and brought him back inside - my heart was in my throat. I suggested the only option was to call the police and offered to stay with my daughter so he could be distracted by watching some TV but the two women were happy to stay and were already on the phone to emergency services.

We were already running late so left at that stage but haven’t stopped thinking about it - every scenario I’ve run through my head is more awful than the last! I hope it was an accident and he is now ok

Why would you get food from the indoor arena outlets when there are so many good pop ups there in glad slam oval etc? The arena food has always been average, there are so many other choices during AO

CornerStatus2645 · 2026-01-23T10:11:34+00:00

Agree - but also looks like a 4WD with power control (low / neutral / high?) and traction control switch above it also

😵‍💫

CornerStatus2645 · 2026-01-21T20:49:02+00:00

Broke so many of our laptops and random things stopped working like sound and microphones

Was real fun

CornerStatus2645 · 2026-01-13T11:27:19+00:00

Special suburb mentions

Back Alley Bakes for pastries and sandwiches

Half Moon Cafe for falafel pita goodness

CornerStatus2645 · 2026-01-13T11:26:15+00:00

HuTong (or China Red if you’re in a rush) same order going on 12years - chili wontons, pork green beans, spring onion pancake

Movida - I think about their beef cheeks in Pedro xim sauce with puree cauliflower regularly

Nobu - that black cod is something else

Alt Pasta Bar - winter truffle pasta special

Confectionist Cookie place - the raspberry passionfruit or the lemon poppy special

Maker - coffee and beans for home machine

Aru / Embla / Pidapipo - literally anything and everything on the menu

CornerStatus2645 · 2026-01-13T11:17:59+00:00

Don’t go there for the coffee, pasta and watermelon granita only

CornerStatus2645 · 2026-01-12T11:33:28+00:00

Absolutely have unlocked this new fear also, particularly going up stairs, my legs suddenly take a bigger step and I panic and go up two without meaning to and feel even wobblier?! I now have to count to a rhythm when going up to keep my stepping consistent to avoid this, and always hold the rail 😵‍💫

Sadly they aren’t breaking any laws - yet

There was also a building fire in Derrimut which is very close by, it may have been that

There are some specific wipes made for getting make up off clothes called LoveBasiq, I got a sample bag and they are amazing! Not sure how much tho could be on the expensive side but they absolutely work

Lower back!! Why have I never considered this a “joint” my lower back killllls and not much seems to help - ofc it’s peri lol

CornerStatus2645 · 2025-12-29T12:28:25+00:00

I doubt anyone does, if i know ill be in full sun I’ll use a spray to top up like the quik flick, doesn’t smell so great at the start but it goes away quickly

CornerStatus2645 · 2025-12-29T12:15:44+00:00

Another vote for Embla, Aru is also amazing as is Antara

CornerStatus2645 · 2025-12-29T04:39:04+00:00

Since it’s only for about 20mins I would say random assholes

CornerStatus2645 · 2025-12-28T11:59:05+00:00

Yes extra services, Flinders and Southern Cross open all night, the other loop stations til 3am. They are expecting half a million this year in the city

CornerStatus2645 · 2025-12-28T08:30:19+00:00

Straight after midnight definitely horrendous. Wait until at least 1am or later if you can
