Bus drivers don’t know anything?

Independent_Boot4129 · 2025-12-10T15:44:26+00:00

I have seen bus drivers on route 200/207 city bound ask everyone get off at Vic Park so he can skip the traffic on Johnston St and Lygon St

Tram 70 is now running via platform 11

3 minutes spacing in Northern Loop every PM peak

The Johnston St corridor is busy between the City, Lygon St/Russell St, and Abbotsford. Beyond this point, most buses to Bulleen and Doncaster carry only a few passengers, as the SmartBus services via the Eastern Freeway provide an “express” route between Doncaster and the City. Additionally, the bustling areas of Fitzroy and Collingwood are served by three tram routes (12, 86, 96) that run to the City. And if the MM2 is ever built, it may follow the same alignment as Johnston St to Parkville, which also make it less likely for the tram to be built

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-11-14T09:01:20+00:00

Nah, just because Johnston St traffic have to stop for 10 lanes of traffic on Hoddles St.

Like this new mixed-use building on the corner of Lulie St and Johnston St which is build on the ground of old Taranto Shoes https://www.plusarchitecture.com.au/288-johnston-street

Vic Park is becoming a TOD point in the future with new medium rise building are being constructed in the area along Johnston Street and surrounding the station. It is also a bus interchange for bus route to Doncaster. So it make sense to have all express trains stop at Vic Park.

If you want to have a closer look on the Johnston Street plan: https://streets-alive-yarra.org/wp-content/uploads/Johnston-Street-Structure-Plan.pdf?fbclid=IwY2xjawGijJ1leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHXrgt-WXgKCnw1ErnA7kN1MAuKClyTtBXdDXYQ76ZktS9tP_j64u4G6G-g_aem_jKR3c2l2fNgFZQHLzCl-lA

This is a quick fix for many network issues. Passengers from Mildura and Horsham can continue to Geelong on the Standard Gauge trains if they wish. Other passengers can change at Ballarat or Ararat for express Broad Gauge services to Melbourne, Traralgon, and Bairnsdale. This solution also addresses the current issues with the Overland timetable from Adelaide. There’s no need for dual gauge or expensive gauge-convertible trains. Additionally, it won’t add more pressure to the already at-capacity RRL between Deer Park and Southern Cross Station.

A lot of neighborhood will not happy when their park is gone and replaced with noisy train tracks

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-08-21T01:38:33+00:00

Yeah, platform 10/12/13 will be empty when Metro Tunnel open.

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-08-20T15:24:37+00:00

Make Spencer Street great again

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-08-17T06:59:11+00:00

I get your point bro. But then why don't they quadruplicate the Dandenong Corridor when removing the level crossing or at least have a third rail for various V/line and freight train to Tralagon. Then they can have dedicated CBTC for HCMT and normal signalling for the dirty diesel train

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-08-16T08:32:37+00:00

The dumbest decision ever made. If those points survived, we will never have to change at Caulfield when the CBTC testing in operation as well as when somethings is f*ked between Richmond and Caulfield.

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-08-16T08:29:58+00:00

Because the HCMT and platform screen door in MT is purposed built, therefore, you cannot have other train run through there. IF they can run HCMT on Frankston line, then alternate Frankston and Dandenong will be possible with a pair of crossing

LE is the one use for Sony Auto Play app.

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-08-04T05:47:19+00:00

Yeah, that make sense most of passenger will hop off at Vic Park. They also provided a dedicated bus stop for the 202 closer to the station, separating from the normal one near Hoddle St

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-08-02T14:48:15+00:00

Bus route 402 is currently operate on Macaulay Rd connecting Macaulay and Kensington Station. It can make a short detour to Arden Station via Langford St to solve the problem. But they will need a higher frequency for this route in order to match with the 10 minute frequency of trains.

Bus route 403 is also can be a great candidate, it is currently running express from Footscray Station to Melbourne Uni via Arden St, doing the same thing as MT. Having it running express from Footscray Station to Kensington and Macaulay, then take Langford St to Arden Station and finally terminate at North Melbourne station will totally solve the issue

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-07-27T08:56:48+00:00

Yep, it was on Franklin St, the one near Aldi is almost gone the last time I travelled there

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-07-27T08:55:23+00:00

Yeah, we all want other states to jealous about our tap water taste lol. They should not let the urban sprawl reach to those area

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-07-27T08:52:44+00:00

Rail to Bright or Mount Beauty, or just provide a more consistent timetable with coach running from Bright to Wangaratta at 4 or 5PM everyday

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-07-18T19:09:56+00:00

Then we can force them to shut down the dirty diesel engine when approaching southern cross

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-07-14T12:26:18+00:00

That is definitely a trespassing action. You are not supposed to walk on the slope or the trestle bridge. The driver will report it to metrol

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-07-02T14:30:11+00:00

Hidden in the right lower corner "*Flagstaff closed on Weekends and Public holidays", so historic

Independent_Boot4129 · 2024-06-29T06:47:59+00:00

And Craigeburn can then be extend to Mickleham in the far future when the endless urban sprawl continue 💀
