This section of Spencer Street north of Lonsdale Street carried no regular passenger routes at that time. Tram 759 was converted to an SW5 in 1985. 3393

Declan Martin @declanmartin.bsky.social · 11/03/2025I've been doing quite a few cross City FKN-NPT trips recently and it really irks me how unreliable the cross city component is. Third time in a week my "Frankston" train from footscray has terminated @ Flinders Street (with zero driver announcement I might add.) Real sloppy from MTM. 5182

Declan Martin @declanmartin.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Queensland Rail have been running commuter catch ups this year. Many UK rail operators also have "meet the manager" sessions. Doesn't happen in Melbourne - I think it should though. (If I'm right in saying we used to hold them but not anymore.) 3171
Declan Martin @declanmartin.bsky.social · 25/01/2025A look around Central Station in Sydney, which has undergone some serious modernisation in recent years. Its absolutely stunning to put it simply. A really good place to start and end an intercity journey. Well done Sydney. 9655

Declan Martin @declanmartin.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Had the displeasure of missing a 703 bus by mere seconds only to find the next service was over 20 minutes away. There's 4 buses per hour so theoretically should be every 15 minutes... But Ventura's timetable is so damn patchy that there's gaps up to 24 minutes. Really weakens a "premium" service. 3262

Declan Martin @declanmartin.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Nice to see some local activism in the north around train frequencies, big focus seems to be the large 40 minute gaps on Sunday mornings and half hourly trains after 7pm. Wouldn't take too many extra services to remove 30-40 minute gaps and provide consistent 20 minute services every day. 2182

Declan Martin @declanmartin.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Saw some coverage on the Federal Govt spending $450,000 over two years on welcome to country ceremonies. So $225k p/a $225,000 divided by 14.5 mil (the total number of Aus labour force) = 0.02 cents. Welcome to Country ceremonies at Federal Government events cost you 0.02 cents per year. Thats it 1016556
Declan Martin @declanmartin.bsky.social · 04/01/2025So after the US election, there was a mass exodus from Twitter to here. What do we think will be another catalyst for another big Twitter exodus? Musk has been increasingly volatile over the past fortnight particularly within relation to Euro elections, so surely something will have to give soon 5100
Declan Martin @declanmartin.bsky.social · 29/12/2024People like to talk up big bus reform but sometimes its interesting to see just how little needs to change to make a good bus route a great bus route... For instance a mere four (4) extra interpeak services for the popular 630 would make this a turn up and go bus route! 2294
