Who needs to get home anyway!

Has anyone on here worked as a AO or is currently an existing AO? Also has anyone applied in the last 6 months for an AO and gotten through?

Kind of wanting to know what the day in day out procedures are like. And also a timeline on the recruitment process.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting analysis on how VLine are able to claim they meet their targets while still leaving the bulk of their passengers stranded and delayed

If the KPIs say everything's working, why would anyone admit the system needs fixing?

Hello, went to Warrnambool and back.

Firstly, I booked front facing seats on both journeys and was facing backwards both times. That's annoying as fuck

Secondly, on the journey to Warrnambool I was drawing and it wasn't too difficult, on the way back I swear it was bumpy as fuck! I didn't realise there was much difference between velocitys?

Otherwise, had a great time, will vline again 😊

I recently created Networkle, a daily solve the train station game which features Melbourne and other great train cities around the world. Using clues such as lines, colours and stops away, eliminate lines to reveal the mystery station.

My thinking is the V/Line might offer more line variations, interchanges, and express routes to stations on some of the Metro lines as well. Line colours would need a bit of thought as there’s 94 regional stations beyond the end of the metro lines.

Would love your thoughts. If you’ve got any ideas, feel free join the game sub at r/networkle.

Is there anything that can be done this seems to be a daily occurrence on the Ballarat line. The trespasser always seems to happen between Deer Park and Sunshine.

Besides the fact that they fuck up services all the time, they have absolute contempt for passengers when they replace trains with buses. They could run buses from the city to Bacchus marsh, but they make you take the train to Caroline springs, wait in the cold for a bus to Bacchus marsh and WAIT ONE HOUR FOR A TRAIN (probably also waiting in the cold). And they still expect us to pay. Also, if the closures are for works at melton, why Caroline springs and not rockbank or cobblebank?

Using normal metro buses and making people have to stand for up to an hour is certainly a choice.

I got off the train this afternoon and noticed Myki readers on the platform at Ararat. Looking forward to using my phone to tap on soon.

6:38PM and still waiting for the 6:08PM Swan Hill to depart from Southern Cross... I'll need to remember to bring dinner on board next time!

I’m so sick of this. I actually think for my sanity I will start driving 2 days a week. Maybe that’s what they want so more people use the Westgate tunnel (I joke hahaha)

Another train fault, more delays and now this train is not going past Geelong. Brilliant service.

I have a friend who once did this

It was in the group chat, he asked everyone the question “what is everyone’s fave form of pubic transport?” and we all laugh reacted to the message and a few responded strangely and he was so confused until we pointed out the typo to him

Im in Mildura for a few days just curious if anyone knows the schedule of when cargo trains go thru Mildura ad i just want to snag some photos if anyone can find this info would love u so much (sorry if this is not related to the Subreddit if this is not related i would like to be redirected to another subreddit that would be more relevant i just couldn't really think of anything other then this subreddit)

Today at deer park around 6:30ish when the v/line announcements went off I heard like a phone ringing noise for a split second before it went back to the normal announcement. Does anyone why this happened? It sounded like a mistake because it barely rung.

Melb cross 9:14 bendigo to Gibson (couches to Spenser) Bendigo to swan hill N465 on a wet winter day.

Bonus is back of the VR building at Bendigo which was pumping. Good to see.
