@railmaps @Bbelljangler Ah I see that Craigieburn and Newport lines have works this weekend which clearly explains the boost!

[Mat Garner @matmgarner]

@railmaps @Bbelljangler I gather this is in response to the 19 being bustituted north of Brunswick Rd? If so - probably would have helped if it was promoted! I trained to and from Moreland twice during the week and had no idea this was happening!

@Blue_Pie_Ninja @aussiewongm @tayser82 I was going to try it a few weeks ago when I was travelling light but even with a well timed bus to Essendon, train to Broady, bus to airport, it seemed more trouble than I could justify, vs a sub-$30 uber.

[Mat Garner @matmgarner]

@Blue_Pie_Ninja @aussiewongm @tayser82 No station at Camp Road though. Would require 1km walk to Gowrie along a pretty nasty highway. Even a PT enthusiast like myself would probably baulk at that with luggage.

@Blue_Pie_Ninja @aussiewongm @tayser82 Unless you live on the Upfield line, unfortunately...

@boomerangmadi Oh saw this post after your last. Evidently you have already been waiting a while and had been told about the train at Parkville already! Please ignore

@Llib7 Based on my experience today it definitely feels as though the slack continues. I had hoped that it would be tightened up for big switch, but perhaps there will be a tidy up timetable update later this year?

@BonkiumMaximus @hamhammer27 The Caulfied loop stopped the doing the midday reversal several years ago.

@Kulia240 @AussieWirraway I have been using mobile myki with these since they first rolled out, and haven't ever had any issues. No need to unlock. Fast response time. Much less buggy in my experience with mobile myki than the previous readers

[Mat Garner @matmgarner]

@tayser82 Feels like Sunshine a little underdone until that point. Watergardens probably about right. But I guess it would be difficult to 'cut' watergardens services in the future to reallocate to MARL and/or Melton, so Sunshine just has to wait a bit longer for TUAG-plus services

[Mat Garner @matmgarner]

@johnnycieo @MattCowgill Im guessing Melton Line? Maybe Ardeer? Upfield is every 20 mins on Sunday

[Mat Garner @matmgarner]

@hamhammer27 So much more dependable with Android myki too

[Mat Garner @matmgarner]

@aussiewongm Yeah i think Arden was 7 or 8 mins. Clearly that experience has forced more people this time to jump in early

[Mat Garner @matmgarner]

@apothemdata @hamhammer27 Android myki works great with the new readers in my experience. Terrible with old ones (particularly on trams)

[Mat Garner @matmgarner]

@Blue_Pie_Ninja I got a ticket for 3pm. All 29 sessions sold out within 8 mins of going online...

Let me tell you a story about how @goget stole $243 from my friend Sam, ignored all reasonable attempts to resolve it, and left him no choice but to pursue legal action, on principle.

Some disputes are murky. This isn’t.

You’ll be thinking: what the actual fuck, @goget.

@bellandcathy @_colourmeamused @boring_smed Telstra is double the price with 40% of the data of Optus. Enough to make me question staying with them TBH

[Mat Garner @matmgarner]

@bellandcathy @_colourmeamused @boring_smed Personal anecdote on this - just back from a month in Europe with my partner. Im with Telstra, partner with Optus. We ran the math, and for him it was more or less cost neutral to stay with Optus on roaming. For me with Telstra definitely much cheaper/more data for eSim.
