Very busy so not many blog posts recently. Here’s another in my series of photos from ten years ago… December 2011.
Flinders Street Station’s rather nice Christmas decorations
Here’s the main entrance to the station, the classic Melbourne photo.
Remember the confusing old train maps? This one from the City Loop of the Northern group lines was particularly bad. A Melbourne newbie could easily (and reasonably) conclude there’s a train from Footscray to Upfield.
This signage at Parliament station wasn’t ideal either. The theory – of pointing to the north and south exits – is good, but the location of the poster makes it confusing.
Never let it be said that level crossing removals only benefit motorists. Bus stuck waiting for a train at Bentleigh station, back when the crossing was still there.
What a stupid place to park.
Ancient history right here – Met Bus signage on a bus shelter at Elsternwick. Met Bus finished operations in 1998. Streetview indicates the shelter and sticker lasted until 2017.
It’s a myth that Melburnians won’t catch buses. They will if the service is halfway decent. This is people boarding an eastbound 703 bus (running every 15 minutes) at Bentleigh station.
Fare evaders face a fine. Motorists who block trams? Not so much.
