@pewnack Yeah, and what's your point here?

Throwback Thursday!

In this Feb 1973 Weston Langford pic we see a citybound 4-car Harris set approaching North Williamstown.

Harris trains were withdrawn in 1988 (with some converted for V/Line use) and the level crossing removed in 2021.

Metro 5.20pm Update:

Major delays on the Pakenham line due to a trespasser near Beaconsfield.

Listen for announcements (which won't actually be made) and check displays (none of which will have any helpful information) as services may be altered at short notice.

#MetroTrains

Good morning Melbourne!

Owing to delays in us organising any fuckups, all lines are running well at present.

#MetroTrains

Like everything Elongated Muskrat does, this is fucking stupid.

But it's great for people who have been blocked by @metrotrains.

Heading to the sportsball this weekend?

We're running additional services so you can get to and from the match, but remember winter means it'll be cold as fuck.

No point taking public transport when you'll be more comfortable in your own car.

Throwback Thursday!

This Nov 1988 Weston Langford pic shows A3.4472 "Flying Scotsman" and R761 in a parallel run at West Footscray.

The Scotsman had been brought to Australia to take part in the country's bicentennial celebrations.

@fakeyarratrams Why was it called the “scrubber” car?

Because your mum drove it?

So @fakeyarratrams have told us it’s their policy to not boost, like or otherwise acknowledge any post with swearing or offensive content.

We believe Fake Yarra Trams are top cunts and are the best fucking transport operator in Melbourne, no contest.

This is Peter, a driver in Sydney.

A reminder that you being a fuckwit around trains - and getting injured or killed - impacts other people too.

Throwback Thursday.

A 2016 pic showing the result of an express train hitting a vehicle at Surrey Hills, resulting in two fatalities.

The car queued over the level crossing whilst in heavy traffic, unable to move as the gates lowered.

Good discussion. Fencing is obvious - Metro noting that 75% of the network doesn't have it is eye-opening.
Platform Screen Doors will become increasingly more viable as train fleets get standardised on many lines. #Melbourne #MetroTrains #PublicTransport #RailSafetyWeek https://www.abc.net.au/melbourne/programs/mornings/trespassers-on-melbourne-train-network/102711576

Thankfully, Jeremy Clarkson has that covered.
