- Thanks for replies. Yes, Rowena may have lost her nametag. No, I'm not going to specify where she works, don't want her to get into trouble. #

- Maybe 2-line PIDs should show next 2-3 trains like other cities so people would know when they don't have to squash in, adding to delays. #

- @Chelsworthgale @josietaylor V/Line to Melton/Caroline Springs/Deer Pk doesn't really count as "mass transit". Frequency/Capacity not enough in reply to Chelsworthgale #
- @Chelsworthgale @josietaylor True, but most outer-west V/Line only every 2 hrs outside peak hour, and limited capacity. Not "mass" transit. in reply to Chelsworthgale #
- @Chelsworthgale Yep, outer-north as pathetic as outer-west. Outer-east doing a little better. in reply to Chelsworthgale #

Went to the “Stopping all stations (except East Richmond)” show at the Caravan Music Club in Oakleigh. Was all songs about the suburbs including two songs about train lines (Epping and Alamein) also two of the Skyhooks did some songs at the end.
I’ve been at Oakleigh more than home recently.
