Pretty ordinary PID’s from Metro Trains. No information about South Yarra bound trains.

Cr Stuart James @stujames.com.au · 24/05/2026

“Passengers for East Pakenham or Cranbourne go to Platform 12 and change at South Yarra” @metrotrains Next train on Platform 12 is in 10 minutes. Cannot move. Completely empty Sandringham train promptly arrives on Platform 13 and leaves empty.

Strange planner. Cranbourne Trains don’t stop at South Yarra 🤔 @ptua.org.au

Better ichange experience at Caulfield, only 2min wait, but train chokers & people left behind I still don’t understand why city trains don’t depart from P2 for seamless interchange With free fares coming for April, things will only get worse #MoreServicesPlease

The trip home is better planed. Shuttles Richmond to Caulfield.

After five years of consultation and collaboration, the first two stages of our very first dedicated cycleway opens in Oakleigh today, linking the Djerring & Scotchman’s Creek Trails, in time for the holidays. Intersection due early next year. Dandenong to Scotchman in design.

Pakenham passengers have to catch Frankston line and change at Caulfield. Train pulls up at Caulfield, doors open and the train we’re meant to change to literally departs. Now an 11 minute wait for the next one. This is how not to run a network.

Trains every 8 minutes at midnight? I’d like to see that.

Today I learnt that the Montreal Subway, with rubber wheeled trains, is the forth busiest in North America behind NYC, Mexico City and Toronto. Amazing given only 3 lines (yellow isn’t really a line).

For those wondering, this is how NOT to create a DDA compliant accessible stop.

Dandenong corridor passengers forced to change at Caulfield for CBD trains today. Carlton plays North Melbourne at the G (ONLY 40-50k crowd). By the time we reached Armadale passengers left on the platform. This will be the norm with #MM1 Better planning required by PTV & Metro #MoreServicesPlease

Educating parents at Netball, one bin at a time. PSA: Lids CAN be recycled if you remove them, but not the cups themselves.

Welcome to @metrotrains We’re testing #MM1 so have closed Dandy between City & Caulfield Directly after the footy we’ll make passengers squeeze on to an incredibly narrow platform & wait 9 min for a Frankston train Don’t push there will be another 12 min after this one leaves

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

The calm before the storm. How lucky are we to have such a magnificent local pool? We almost didn’t. Council planned to shut this famous local institution 20 years ago, but it was saved by local residents and ratepayers in a massive community campaign. What are your favourite memories?

36 years ago, 24 people made the ultimate sacrifice at Nakatomi. May their courage and resilience live on, even in the face of impossible odds. Yippee-ki-yay, heroes. #NeverForget #ChristmasMovie

34% of all the poker machines in the ENTIRE WORLD are in NSW. Yep, more than a third. In only one Australian State. Let that sink in.

Men are starting to have the conversation about ending the national crisis of gender-based violence. We need to: talk to our friends, recognise the warning signs, challenging abusive behaviours, and listening to women/survivors without judgement or defensiveness. It all starts with respect!

What’s wrong with people? Why do this to Bus and Tram shelters? That’s literally public money that could be better spent on something else. 🤬🙄

The annual Westgate Street Christmas Party. 26 years and going strong. This is what community is all about: local residents (young and old) coming together to enjoy each others company. Always a pleasure to be invited along - a highlight of the year.

Happy 11 years of marriage to this eternal spunk. Couldn’t have imagined a better journey, or a more amazing person to do experience it with. With the kids this time, back at the place where it all began, Mahjong in St Kilda. Food and service as terrific as it’s always been.

There is no point having an “accessible” Tram stop if the kerb isn’t adjusted to suit. 🙄🤦‍♂️

Cr Stuart James @stujames.com.au · 28/11/2024

Standing room only on the 20 minute frequencies at 10pm on a Thursday. And this is the busiest train line on the network. Other lines have much worse frequency. Unacceptable for a city of 5 million. No wonder people drive. #MoreTrainsPlease #MoreServicesPlease

Noooooooooo. That’s my train.

If you’re redesigning a station, SURELY you put the seats under cover to protect passengers from the sun and rain 🤦‍♂️

Did you know that NSW has 34% of the WORLD’s poker machines? Or that last year there were a total of 1 MILLION gambling ads on free-to-air television alone? Or that, on average, each adult loses $1,527 to gambling every year? 1/5

Zoe on the walk to school “Why do we have to press this button?” “To make the light go green otherwise it just stays red” “Why?” “Because that’s the way it works” “But why? Cars don’t have to press a button” I have nothing. #BegButton
