    Remember everyone. If your train is ever late for any reason, dont go abusing the driver. Its not their fault the train is late.

    I share a lot of sympathy for the train staff that have to endure such ridiculous behaviour from aggresive people. These problems are not their fault and they deserve compassion for the difficult problems they face unpredictably.
    They can only do the best at what they can do. Very nice people when I meet them.
    Drivers along with passengers too are in the same boat when disruptions occur. They are always constantly working a lot harder to save people from losing more.
    Great Insight Mr Percus

    A station was built at Southland.
    Wikipedia: Southland railway station is located on the Frankston line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Cheltenham, and it opened on 26 November 2017.
    Almost 130 years since the original proposal, planning for the Southland railway station resurfaced in November 2010, during the Victorian State Election.[10] Both the government and opposition pledged to construct the railway station during the next term (2010-2014).[11] The Liberal/National Coalition won the 2010 election from the incumbent Labor government.

    Taking your anger and frustration out on the driver just because your train is late is not acceptable they try and stay within the time table close as possible but however unforeseen things do happen that is beyond the rail operator's control.

    If it is such a good job why did I knock back the $20K bonus to stay on for a year after I turned 55 ? It used to be a good. Glad to be out of it.
    And Tim, carry a bloody camera, I did.

    I refused to take crap, for delays out of my control. Senior managers should have travelled with the public to explain the reasons for delays, such as poor maintenance.

    They had franchises for two British rail networks revoked not long after they got the contract for Melbourne, were delivering abysmal substandard service apparently.
    And the people the Kennett government brought in to do the privatization were from Britain, hrm

    30 trains a hour can go though one loop in the city loop a hour

    • @Alexander_Dunn
      @Alexander_Dunn 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, that’s per tunnel, so times that by 4 and you got 100+ trains running through that loop an hour
      1000+ trains a day passing through that loop, let’s say we’ve got 500 6 car trains running on the network, that’s them going through the loop at least twice a day

    haha you've got to be kidding yourself if you say metro is reliable, one of the worst public transport services in the world. Crowded trains, delays, cancelled services. Begging for fare evading with such terrible services.
