Love/Hate

One thing I love about Melbourne is how during peak hour trains run between Flinders St station and Alamein/Blackburn stopping all stations INCLUDING East Richmond. This means I can get to the city in 5 minutes, and work in 20.

One thing I hate about Melbourne is trying to hurry past all the slowpokes on swanston st, rushing to the station to catch your precious 5.19 to Alamein from platform 6 and then waiting..... waiting....waiting..... announcement "The 5.19 to Alamein has been delayed, and is now is expected in..... "etc etc wait wait another announcement wait wait wait and then a voice "Passengers for the Alamein train please note this train is now departing platform 2". Cue mad rush of all the passengers waiting for the 5.19, and the 5.27, and the 5.34 to platform 2, where we wait.......
