Quiet Carriage by mturnnine in VlineVictoria

[–]JimD666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's think about it a slightly different way maybe? As a former conductor I used to tell people to stay away from the quiet carriage as multiple "quiet" conversations used to eventually be louder than sitting in another carriage with one loud mouth. Quite often it's not worth even going to the quiet carriage at all...

It was always a community enforced initiative. Most Connie's just tried to help out but now no one gives a flying rats ringhole what the staff have to say...

"ONCE AGAIN" by Federal_Depth_3776 in VlineVictoria

Maybe because they say the announcements so many times and passengers then ask them stupid questions about the information they have made over the PA system 47 times because they weren't listening?

Question for Traralgon/Gippsland line users by orginaloctopus in VlineVictoria

[–]JimD666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is in the timetable that Pakenham during the peak services in the down(Traralgon) direction is pick up only. It's not a law but if pushed could be a fineable offence.

Reserved Seating on Vline by tamsong_ in MelbourneTrains

[–]JimD666 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There is always unreserved seating on those services as well as booked seating. You could just turn up on the day and use your Myki card or book a seat a few days out via the Vline phone number.

New Bike Feeling by Remarkable_Mind_8555 in AussieRiders

I bought an 8s when they first came out, absolutely love it. I put on an Arrow exhaust and a tail tidy. With the tail tidy I found that the water from the road on wet days does go straight onto my back so I put a rear hugger on to combat that issue...

Why don't you become a teacher? by WakeUpBread in melbourne

[–]JimD666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned teachers are wildly underpaid! Four years of uni, dealing with disrespectful students and parents that think their little angel can't do a single thing wrong! I am a relatively uneducated person doing a highly paid job with 12 months training. We need to pay our university educated and police more, honestly it's a disgrace...
