[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

[Public Transport Users Association @ptua]

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

@Daniel15 Thanks for the mention! We send out line specific alerts, that aren't sent via the official Metro account. Even more useful :)

[Meagan Weymes @meaganweymes]

Feeling like a sardine on the Epping or Hurstbridge train line? You're not the only one...@eppingtrain @HBridgeTrain http://t.co/xDSS5K10

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

@metrotrainsfail The individual line alerts that run from the other accounts here use the web site info, so no twitter alerts today :(

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

RT @metrotrains: Extreme weather conditions may affect your journey this afternoon. Please allow extra travel time/consider deferring travel

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

The #Metrotrains site was up for a bit, but down again. Advice from them is delay travel if possible due to storm delays & cancellations

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

FYI, Metrotrains website is currently down, so no service specific alerts are currently available for any of the lines

[The Age @theage]

Myki smartcard failing at maths. You can vote on this one too - Do you trust myki to charge you correctly? http://t.co/YGR7Gg8 via @theage

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

@WilsWok Wanted to resolve diff in numbers b4 doing more & time has been short. Hope in time some longer term trends will be insightful also

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

Problems w/failed auto-topup payments on #myki seem to be widespread & well known.Why on earth do you need to snail-mail the card in to fix?

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

Bank sends me new credit card unrequested. OK. But Myki auto-topup fails. I have to MAIL MY CARD IN TO THEM to get it unblocked! #Myki #FAIL

[John Barratt @johnbarratt]

#protip Never let an auto-topup to a #myki fail or you will have to *snail-mail* your card back to them to get it 'unblocked' #SoVeryWrong

[Ye-Leng Kan @yeswe_kan]

Everyone should go on facebook and like the page "Rowville rail study". New train line to Monash? Yes please!

[Candice Wyatt @CandiceWyatt10]

Reports police have arrested a man with an imitation gun at Flagstaff Station. @metrotrains now in chaos after police closed City Loop.

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

Would be quite a PT network with all this RT @andrewdotnich: Hey #melbourne, just imagine if all of these lines existed! http://t.co/Eiq5JF4

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

@WilsWok Cancels due to works on weekend etc. wont report each service. So be interesting 2 look @ just peak hour or weekday service numbers

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

@WilsWok Interesting.June official was 1.3% cancels 2x the 0.63% from reported 378/60k. Many services must be cancelled & not reported.

[Melbourne Trains @MelTrains]

July summary compared to June: Reported cancels up (411 vs 378), loop skips down (62 vs 77), less 'now' runs' (13 vs 24) #MetroTrains
