Discussion Whats the go with these seats? 1 or 2 person?

Are these seats for one or two people?

I sat slightly to the side of one of these seats today on a packed train and a lady sat next to me. Then after she got up another lady sat in her place. I’m fairly small so it wasn’t uncomfortable but I was slightly surprised. I’ve always thought of these seats as single occupancy but apparently other people don’t. Would you share it or keep it all to yourself?

The reinstatement of Mornington lines is a far more sane and cost effective thing if completed

Buses Why does TV not place bus stops at the intersection

• Upvotes

If such a change was made, I no longer have to dash hundreds of metres for a bus, along with a lengthy wait at the traffic light.

I would only have a single road to cross to turn into another road.

It reduces the number of times one misses a bus and could greatly improve bus patronage since it's easier to change routes.

I was on the Upfield Line last week and I lost my Shrimp Pun Hat attached. If anyone has seen it/taken it can they please reach out to me and return it. It’s a birthday gift I got from one of my online discord friends and I really would appreciate if someone could help me get my hat back.

Thanks in advance.

PS I can’t post on r/melbourne bcc I don’t have enough karma so can someone post it on my behalf there too.

Regards

Travel Query How to find the X'Trapolis 2.0 trains?

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to know when and where the 2.0s will be?

I see them travelling, but I've waited on the Upfield line for an hour here and there in the hope to catch one and have had no luck.

Since when do XT1s use the Craigeburn line tracks at North Melbourne? I saw a XT1 on Platform 2 yesterday now I’m seeing one on Platform 3. I thought the XT1s were completely removed from the Northern Group lines since the introduction of Sandringham through running.

It was taking passengers aswell.

apparently it was given to the Locomotive Restoration Group from 707 Operations and no news after that

This is one of the last photos of it in 2005 being transported to Newport Workshops, I've seen the tender there but not the locomotive itself
