Nice blog comparing Melbourne's rail timetable in 1939 to now.A reminder that offpeak transit frequencies in Melbourne truly are staggeringly bad. You shouldn't be allowed to be Australia's largest city until you can run trains to major stations at 10 minute intervals, 7 days a week.#transit #melbourne #publicTransport #railhttps://melbourneontransit.blogspot.com/2023/03/tt-180-melbournes-forgotten-frequent.html

Some interesting developments are underway for Sydney's future #PublicTransport system.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-13/sydney-metro-city-southwest-cost-blowout/102215508the ABC covered Minns' press conference on the new 'independent review' into the #SydneyMetro but of more interest to me is this tweet from the ABC journo who wrote the article, Isobel Roe.I guess it didn't make the article because it is speculative 'pending the review', but the notion that changing stations location on #MetroWest is on the cards is big news.Given that the planned stations are mostly/all under construction, this would most likely mean additional new stations. This would add to the cost of the project but could be used to increase the value of the project, particularly if the state can profit off the increasing land values.I wrote about the missed opportunity of too few stations on Metro West a few years back ( https://jedsetter.com/assessing-the-impact-of-metro-west/ ) and I'll be watching closely to see how this one plays out!

@ajsadauskas @flowerpot @mekkaokereke are you coming for someone because they are affiliated with a thing that is named after a problematic Governor? that's basically everyone! the uni has nothing to do with him aside from the name. it came into existence 150~ years after his time.
