The #ButcherBirds in #Sunshine have a very different song to the ones in #Hurstbridge.

#Mernda Line/ #Hurstbridge Line folk - signal fault at Collingwood, trains are buggered. Avoid if possible.

Some information below for anyone else trying to navigate the #Hurstbridge Line train disruptions this week.

Buses are replacing trains between Heidelberg and Clifton Hill. No trains are operating on this section.

There are two types of bus service. The first runs express from Parliament to Heidelberg. The second runs express to Clifton Hill, then stops all stations to Heidelberg.

However, what the PTV website does not tell you is that Mernda Line trains ARE operating between Clifton Hill and Flinders Street and you should change here to continue. Only if you are going to Parliament will buses run express from Clifton Hill to Parliament.

I don't know why they aren't running extra trains or they are not advertising this information (not even when I called PTV to ask).

The only reason that I know this is because I just tried to use the train replacement buses. Yet again, we need to do much better with #PassengerInformation

The Bridge at Hurstbridge
Dated 1936. No exact date.
Sent from Ivy to Ern. Ivy was under the doctor for her knee, and was very much hoping Frank would write to Ern with all the news.

This bridge is still standing and in heavy daily use, but the creek has changed course and is now wider and deeper.
It's locally known as the Monash Bridge, designed by John Monash.
