...Restore and Electrify the old Mornington line?!<br /> <br />Mornington can go to Hell. And so can Connex. They can go together, and hold each other tenderly as they get molested by Satan's hordes. <br /><br />Hmmpf.Fandango Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16893133448316650523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21846146.post-63256828587562444232007-01-18T13:17:00.000+11:002007-01-18T13:17:00.000+11:00.....Not to mention South Moorang and a rail link ........Not to mention South Moorang and a rail link to Melbourne Airport. Funnily enough of the fake train maps I've seen going around, people have included an extention to Baxter, but not all the way to Mornington.Bozzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181643485056329319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21846146.post-74638022803586834302007-01-18T13:13:00.000+11:002007-01-18T13:13:00.000+11:00That's right running with scissors.

These stations have not been used for public use since 1982 and I'm annoyed as fuck that the state government hasn't pulled its head in and invested money into re-opening (and electrifying) the abandoned Mornington line. By not renewing the contract with Connex, thus bringing PT back to state ownership they should be able to afford to restore and electrify the Mornington line with the tax payer funds they end up saving!Bozzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181643485056329319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21846146.post-57967444547449644362007-01-17T23:48:00.000+11:002007-01-17T23:48:00.000+11:00Yet again I'm amazed by some of the stuff that man...Yet again I'm amazed by some of the stuff that manages to have a Wikipedia article created on it. After reading about the crap Melbourne public transport system, I searched for our slightly less crap Brisbane train system. Do they really need an article for every station?!<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandgate_railway_station%2C_Brisbane<br /><br />Anyone who's ever caught a train from or past Sandgate would know how inaccurate parts of that article are, but buggered if I'm gonna waste a minute of my life correcting it. Instead I'll post about it on rantolotl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21846146.post-20100808931044122512007-01-17T22:42:00.000+11:002007-01-17T22:42:00.000+11:00Where I work now (MBS in Carlton) I had a few days...Where I work now (MBS in Carlton) I had a few days off for working extra hours last week (IBM had their summer school, which made it busy for us MBS staff), thus I don't go back til tommorow, but I'm so glad I wasn't working yesterday, I woulda been frustrated (mind you if the trains were delayed going into work, I would've missed most of my shift without getting into trouble).<br /><br />Oh and as for ticket inspectors I think they can be divided into two groups.<br /><br />Group A are the ticket inspectors that are simply doing their job, they don't single anyone out and will only book someone if neccessary and like myself were simply wanting to get a job in the PT industry (might I emphasise I only apply for jobs like train driving or being a station master I DON'T EVER want to be a ticket inspector).<br /><br />Group B are the kind that we saw on that second You Tube clip, who deliberately pick on youths and single out people they darn well know can't afford to pay the fines (e.g. homeless people, although they'd be wasting their time if the homeless person doesn't have an address anyway). Some of them are racist bigots and will literally start beating the shit out of someone they don't like the look of. <br /><br />Yes some ticket inspectors get the crap beaten out of them, but frankly, if they fall under group B then they deserve it!Bozzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181643485056329319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21846146.post-2962756892936355672007-01-17T13:45:00.000+11:002007-01-17T13:45:00.000+11:00^ Nice work posting half a link there... :p
Yeste...^ Nice work posting half a link there... :p<br /><br />Yesterday was an absolute cunt, with the power outages and all. Gah.<br />Messages at the station said 'All trains are delayed 15-20 minutes' ... reality had it more like 30-40 minutes bare minimum. In 40 degree heat. With about 5 train loads of people waiting to get in and go home. With trains running half their normal speed for some ridiculous (bullshit) reason.<br /><br />I've never had a 1 hour trip take so fucking long.
