I don't see any problem with making Werribee line commuters having to change at either Southern Cross or North Melbourne. I'm currently living in London and this is a fairly easy thing to do, even tho ...

Quiet trains are all well and good but I don't think it would work. Once the train gets out into the rough areas, there goes the quietness.

Also at Ringwood this is common. They would take them the 100 meters down the track to the sidings. I don't see why there would be any problem with this, as they are legally allowed to be there. They ...

Don't many tram routes already have 8-minute inter-peak frequency?
Yes there is a few, 109 is one. I think the 19 also has this too, or maybe that's a 10 minute frequency.

it all depends on where the bus originates from and where it operates prior to entering the freeway, and then exiting the freeway..

all buses that run along the Eastern Freeway serve suburbs BEFORE ...

That seems like a pretty smooth tram change. At least they lined up the doors and didn't make you cross the road.

Well i'm a happy Eastlink user. I think its a great road but there are times there is plenty of cars on the road, especially around Ringwood. However, as has already been said, don't draw conclusions ...

What do I have to do to become Transport Minister? I promise I'll fix it up, not being afraid to badmouth the treasury in the process. It's a job I'd like, want, and probably not struggle with at all. ...

Still haven't been on a set with the new fabrics but from the look of them, they look nice and clean. I don't think they will stay like that for much longer. However that fabric seems to last longer t ...

Connex after the football can either be trouble free or horribly bad. The last time I used them, it was fine, train left 1 min late from Richmond. But then I think it was round 3 or 4 leaving from Sou ...

I think the airport link is a good idea, however should not be a project high on the list. There is much more that can be done before a link to the airport. The bus is working fine for now.

The new seat coveres I think are an excellent idea for the image of the network. The Siemens ones are feral at the moment. Also its a very BIG possitive for the Connex PR department as it shows they a ...
