How does Myki work on Sundays...Never used it on a Sunday before.

Presuming just a cheaper fare, but no idea how cheap that fare is...

$3.30 I believe they're advertising it as. A flat fee for all day.

Nope. It's from the following weekend 7th July to 15th July and then 21st-22nd July.

So what's the story with the Frankston line as it uses the same f****** tracks?

[ozrulestrace]

This is the week came to believe that Metro has morphed itself into the late but not lamented Connex.

The 635am to the city has started to develop a bit of a ghost train reputation.

Seems a bit weird that they do this on a Sunday where the Saints are playing in town...given our demographic of having loads of supporters in the SE corridor.

Theyve had the last upteen Sundays or the next umpteen..but no it has to be THIS Sunday.

As? The train from Mordy to MOOrabbin? Hold the presses! No. I get ya. No Franky trains through the Loop either, so go straight to Flinders Street and don't collect $200. Listen to the announcements at Flinders Street, decipher them, and if the train forms a Werribee or Williamstown train, stay on it. If it is a Frankston, Pakenham or Cranbourne train ( i.e. going back), get off and go the platforms 2,3,4,or 5, depending on the next train out - and hope for the best.

You're NOT expecting any form of logic, are you? !!

Crap how the track works will affect those who come to watch the match from the Frankston, Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sandy lines...but rather then trying to find which train will be the next to take you to Southern Cross, why don't you just walk to Etihad?

It's only a brisk 10-15 min walk to from Southern Cross from Flinders st...

Going to have a few beers before the game at the young and jackson. For once the train line disruptions actually worked in my favour!
