Disruption notice on the Transport Victoria website with lots of wrong informatiob. Tells people to change at Footscray for Craigieburn and Upfield trains, and at Camberwell for Glen Waverley trains. Glen Waverley is also spelled incorrectly.

Leading on from yesterday here is another bad disruption notice on the Transport Victoria website.

Amongst other things, it tells people to catch a Glen Waverley train from Camberwell Station, and a Craigieburn train from Footscray Station. All completely wrong […]

Is it just me or has the disruption information from Transport Victoria become even worse recently?

Take this for example. No City Loop trains for Burnley Group trains. The official advice is to take a "City Circle bus" (rail replacement bus) to get to City Loop […]

One new issue with State Library / Melbourne Central that I have noticed since the Metro Tunnel opened has to do with interchanging.

When coming out of State Library Station there are no screens to tell you the next train departures from platforms at Melbourne Central. The only bank of screens […]

Bank card touch on option spotted at a myki gate at Footscray Station. Only this one had it available though.

"Heat related speed restrictions"? It's not even 30 degrees. Very strange.

Photo of two posters at Box Hill Station. One says "Heading to the Grand Prix?" with public transport information. The one next to it says "Buses Replace Trains"

These signs are a juxtaposition that we hate to see.

There are maintenance works scheduled on the Belgrave / Lilydale Line between Box Hill and Parliament on the same weekend as the Grand Prix and Labour Day.

Not a great way to promote heading to the Grand Prix […]

At a level crossing Batman Station a wrecked car up against a train carriage. Various emergency personnel are standing about.

Uh oh.
Apparently no injuries, so phew.

By some miracle, the bus was early and I'm on the 8:54 express train at Box Hill that skips Laburnum for no apparent reason. It's half empty, and early at Box Hill. Wonder when the last time they actually surveyed passenger load was? #melbournetrains

New post out today!

Using the latest release of 2024-25 data from the Department of Transport & Planning, I look at which are the most and least used railway stations in Melbourne and Victoria […]

Screenshot of a chatbot being asked "what does PTV stand for?"

Screenshot of a chatbot being asked "what is the timetable for Galvin Station"

Screenshot of a chatbot being asked "how do I get to New Zealand?"

Screenshot of a chatbot being asked "when does the Metro Tunnel open?"

The Transport Victoria website has been updated and now includes an "AI Chatbot" of questionable utility.

Can't answer very basic questions and doesn't seem to add much value to the website. I would rather they focus their effort on fixing the many errors and […]

Photo of a screen showing the next trains at Richmond Station

Out of all the tens of different PIDs and screen layouts across Victoria this new one at Richmond Station on Platforms 5 & 6 is my favourite.

It includes all the necessary information and is a good layout for an interchange station like Richmond with the extra […]
