Hello all,

As most of you are probably aware how the Victorian Government renamed the former Department of Infrastructure (DOI) to the Department Of Transport, and as a result of this a new website had been created and can be viewed at http://www.transport.vic.gov.au for those who don't know.

The Government has included new videos as a part of the website.

It's the plan and Melbourne Metropolitan Rail Network: a new operating plan

Well, the Laverton flash movie, while not anything really flash (ha ha) does spell it out in very simple terms for the public what is happening with their train service. In NSW they call these things 'turnback'. All in all a sensible flash movie that anyone can understand. Train A, Train B and Train C.

The 'netowrk' flash movie contains some scenes from the Laverton movie, and focusses on removal of pathing conflicts, increased services and run throughs instead of City Loop services.

Both a well narrated and the voiceover is clear and well spoken. Visual integration with diagrams, maps, platform shots and stabling yard shots add up to two well scripted movies, for the public.

Some interesting information.
