Previously I had decided if I arrived at Melbourne Central station early, I would catch the Lilydale train, and change trains at Ringwood. This would protect me in case Connex decided to change the Belgrave train to skip the City Loop.

I sent the following feedback to Metlink. I also considered contacting Connex and US Bus Lines directly, however last I tried contacting both operators I got no response. It is this kind of situation where we really need a central authority to manage this; at present when I talk to the bus drivers they blame Connex and when I talk to Connex they blame the bus companies.

Last weekend it snowed at my place. This is so unusual for our area that we took lots of photos.

The following was typed in on a laptop computer with a battery that was running flat and using candle light. Errors may exist.

No trains between Burnley and Camberwell stations.

I went to Sydney to visit LCA2008.

I ended up catching a 732 bus from Box Hill, after my train was delayed at Box Hill for 5 minutes, and it appeared there might have been trains queued up all the way to Blackburn.

Fatality tonight at Mitcham, during peak hour.

Had a very eventful trip to the city today.
