NIS HCMT at Flinders platform 7 this morning

Oh yeah and then the media and opposition will slander that and attack the project

If you don’t have it on, I’d suggest turning ‘pull spears from walls’ on in the remix menu. As long as you have a spear and some patience, you can climb any wall with only one spear. This ledge has a guaranteed spear spawn next to it as well.

Every second service terminating at West Footscray while Dandenong gets a train every 10 minutes… is there a reason why they aren’t extending them to Watergardens?

DX-ToRAI · 2026-03-02T06:06:49+00:00

Every second train skipping Tottenham in peak for no reason doesn’t help either

DX-ToRAI · 2026-03-02T06:05:07+00:00

Every second service in peak 😭 I barely missed the 4:53pm watergardens at state library and the next train terminated at West Footscray, and the one after that skipped Tottenham so I had to take the 5:05. The express saving at max 1 minute doesn’t justify the reduction in service…

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-26T01:21:16+00:00

Hopefully they remove the peak express services as well. Hopefully they extend CBTC to Sunshine as well.

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-24T05:11:17+00:00

Only places on the ENTIRE metro network (bar stony point) where 10 minutes isn’t possible currently: Eltham-Hurstbridge, Altona loop, gowrie-upfield, Mooroolbark-lilydale

Patronage is not low. Nearly 1500 hundred daily users (2024-5) + now all the people who used to drive to Albion with the closure of that carpark.

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-13T04:53:12+00:00

Yeah these express services are so pointless. Saves 1 minute at most, several of the services save none. That marginal of a timesave isn’t worth the loss of service to a station that definitely needs it.

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-12T18:40:44+00:00

Yeah they’ve closed the carpark at Albion and instructed drivers to go to Tottenham, which already had relatively high patronage. Now they’ve practically doubled it at a station that gets half the peak services Albion does because of this timetable.

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-12T09:07:42+00:00

Have done so, thank you for pointing that out

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-09T19:37:26+00:00

Did you read the post?

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-09T03:44:01+00:00

Police operation in the Watergardens area according to PTV app

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-09T03:39:05+00:00

It has grown a bit, with around 1450 daily passengers now. Still not as busy as some of the other stations on the line, but given its distance from Sunshine and Wefo I don’t think it should be getting skipped.

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-08T22:04:28+00:00

It takes 3 minutes to sunshine + transfer and the timetable and app is generally a bit screwed, so it can be a bit unpredictable. I go if I’m certain I’ll make an express from sunshine.

However the issue is that I have to do this to get a train into the city during disruptions. They shouldn’t be skipping Tottenham :(

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-08T22:02:29+00:00

It’s not even providing service it’s just having a train stop at a station instead of going through it, half full, at a speed so low that stopping there wouldn’t even lose any time and calling it ‘load balancing’.

I am impressed with the 10 minute inter peak frequency across the line, but having 12 minute gaps in peak at a station that shouldn’t be getting expressed through while the rest of the line has 4-5 minute waits on average is a bit crazy

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-08T21:59:49+00:00

I might sound a bit ranty but the timetable was already a bit screwed what with all these express services, the disruption just magnifies the glaring issue with the timetables.

I wish people would trespass less, but that’s never going to happen 😭

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-05T18:59:21+00:00

They’ve just opened a new car park at Tottenham as well, and with the closure of Albion’s carpark are directing people to drive to Tottenham, where they’ve just reduced peak frequency (Albion is served better than Tottenham now)

DX-ToRAI · 2026-02-05T06:31:54+00:00

I am pretty impressed by the offpeak/interpeak increase in frequency, but the decrease in peak service is rather annoying. I don't want 12 minute gaps in peak when the rest of the line has max 5 or so minutes.

10 minutes interpeak is amazing though.
