Here’s another in my series of old photos from ten years ago: September 2013. William Street in Melbourne CBD was given a makeover in 2019-20 to install protected bike lanes and tram platform stops. But I found this photo from June 2013 (looking north from Collins Street) that appears to show them doing resurfacing works ... [More]
Another batch of old photos from ten years ago
Last day of the month! Just time for my monthly post of old photos from ten years ago: July 2013.
Oops, I missed posting these in June: old photos from ten years ago. I’ll zip through these and try and post the July set in July. Fog on Bourke Street. Big dual cab utes are not a new problem, though they’re unfortunately much more numerous now. The driver of this one did not cover themselves ... [More]
Here’s another in my series of old photos from ten years ago – May 2013. Then Premier Napthine with member for Bentleigh Elizabeth Miller, transport minister Terry Mulder, PTV CEO Ian Dobbs and others, announcing the “Bayside Rail Upgrade” at Bentleigh station. The northern end of the platform at Bentleigh wasn’t exactly very roomy. But ... [More]
Marking 10 years of posting 10 year old photos, with one from 30 years ago.
Here’s another post of photos from ten years ago – this time March 2013. A Parkiteer Map was published in MX and it was a doozy for errors. A few to see just in this little glimpse. Spelling mistakes, lines in the wrong place, lines strung together… it had it all. A Hitachi train arrives ... [More]
I’m still behind on posting old photos from ten years ago, and catching COVID last week didn’t help. Here’s February 2013. Some motorists love to complain about impact of protected bike lanes. Here’s William Street before it got them. Difficult and dangerous for cyclists, but also demonstrably slow for motorists back then as well. Remember: ... [More]
I didn’t get around to posting this last month: old photos from ten years ago, January 2013 edition. Myki had just taken over from Metcard, and while it would take a while for all the old equipment to be removed, temporary signage was placed over the old ticket machines on trams. Myki has that unexplained ... [More]
Here’s the last of the ten year old photo posts for this year, covering December 2012. Today is the tenth anniversary of the day that Metcard was finally switched off across the tram network, and Myki became the only ticket available for travel on Melbourne’s public transport. (The Herald Sun has an article on this ... [More]
Is it the end of the month already? Here’s another post of old photos from ten years ago – November 2012. Block Place – another location that proves the point that many favourite places… don’t have cars. Ads on train windows, blocking the view. Thankfully gone, but still an issue on trams and buses. Perhaps ... [More]
Another in my series of ten year old photos, this time from October 2012… Well, except for this one from 29th September 2012, which I missed last month – a letter in the Herald Sun – the time I tried and failed to escape the PTUA! Thanks, Mr Surkitt. Spring Racing Carnival… and a train ... [More]
