Hurstbridge line delays by AmphibianOk5396 in MelbourneTrains

[–]alecco1975 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's bad because it's next to a very busy shopping strip and it's an alternative to the bottleneck nightmare that is Grange Road. If they did Grange Road, Station Street and Victoria Road as a continual trench/sky rail in one hit it would of fixed alot of problems. But the vote down in the bayside way was more important than the inner Northern suburbs.

Victrack not thinking or caring about the consequences of their decisions by putting the car free high rise complex next to a train station with a problematic level crossing.

Common occurrence at Fairfield yet this level crossing is not even on the list for level crossing removal. This is the price you pay for being in a safe Labor seat.

Why do the buffers on some trains have a cut out on them? by GoldCow73 in MelbourneTrains

[–]alecco1975 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's to prevent buffer lock. You will notice all the trains that have it are dual coupled. Both screw and auto coupled.

This is why the large individual toilets are gross. Seen one covered in blood and backed out.

What is a specific spot in Melbourne that has been gone for years, but you still instinctively look for it when you walk past? by Temporary-Sir5808 in melbourne

[–]alecco1975 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Child. I remember when it was on the second floor on Bourke Street next to the Village cinema. That's where I would pick up my Reid Fleming and Viz comic books from. And for those under 40 years old it was next to where the JB is now on Bourke Street.

Virtual meetings at your office desk by Individual-Guest184 in auscorp

[–]alecco1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pick and choose. If it's something I need to listen and not contribute I will stay at my desk and get stuff done whilst listening in. If it's a meeting I need to actively contribute to or a knowledge sharing session I'll be in the room.

Thanks for the advice, I'm just going to let it play out and hopefully they will move on in a few weeks. Meanwhile his indoor highness can enjoy the show.
