@yarratrams You’re the best! I’m so sorry for making this your problem, but I just couldn’t leave that without trying to tell someone.
Thank you, I really appreciate your help.

@yarratrams sorry to do this, but the north-bound platform at Stop 7: Queen Victoria Market has blood all over it.
‘Snap, Send, Solve’ says bodily fluids are City of Melbourne, but diverts to a phone call, which of course no one is answering at this time of night.

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

I’ve got a photo, which I don’t want to post here, and I’ll call City of Melbourne in the morning, but I wanted to let you know, in case there was anything you could do.
Thank you!

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

I’ve sent the report through that service, but it’s definitely blood, not rubbish. There’s a bloody sock and bloody debris at the north end, where most trams board, and a trail of blood at the south end of the platform.

Guy just got off the tram, at Church Street, but that was about 30 stops with him scrolling with his volume up, and giving me attitude when I asked him not to.
So disappointing! So unnecessary!

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

@yarratrams could you please make an announcement on tram 2035 about not playing music out loud?
Guy sitting opposite me who is scrolling with his sound up and refused my request for him to use headphone.

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

@yarratrams And he just got off the tram at Church Street.

@yarratrams Thanks! Pretty frustrating situation, I can understand the initial mistake, but it’s annoying not to just fix it when asked, and instead argue back with ‘it’s not even that loud’ and ‘no one else cares’.

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

Really incredibly rude and frustrating!

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

I know that trams have a timetable, but it’s really frustrating when you wait at the traffic lights for the green signal, and other people just cross to the tram stop on the red light, and then the light turns green, and you walk, and the tram shuts the doors in your face.

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

@yarratrams Thank you!

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

So sorry @yarratrams but there’s a big mess on tram 5009, up the back.

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

@yarratrams Thank you!

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

Hey @yarratrams I have such a weird report to make - on tram 205, the glass on one of the panels next to the middle door has shifted, making the gap to hold onto the pole very narrow.
That’s kind of a strange thing to describe, so I took photos.

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

Photos attached! I hope that helps explain, and that you can get it fixed.

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

@yarratrams Thank you! Much appreciated!

[Jessica Broadbent @JessTheReader]

More from me to @yarratrams, a big gold star to the driver of tram 2010 on route 19 this morning (about 10:45).
At Haymarket, he checked with an elderly couple whether they wanted his tram.
‘No, thank you, the 59!’
How great of the driver to check, prepared to wait! So kind!
