Each morning on William Street in the CBD, there are a handful of route 55 trams that display a destination of ‘Moonee Vale’. There are a number of Melbourne suburbs with similar sounding names, along with a racecourse and local government area called ‘Moonee Valley’ – but is Moonee Vale a real place, or just a typo?
The other month I was in Riddells Creek, so I stopped into the local railway station to snap a photo of the next train to pass through. While I was waiting, I stumbled upon a rather useless next train display.
A few weeks ago I made my way north to Brisbane, where I caught plenty of trains. However it was the next train display boards at the main entrance to Roma Street Station that caught my eye – they were colour coded.
Passengers at the newly expanded Footscray station has a problem – useless next train displays on the main concourses. With six platforms now in use, only the next four departures are listed.
Last week another part of the Regional Rail Link project opened to passengers – the pair of V/Line-only tracks between Southern Cross Station and Sunshine. Along with these tracks are two new platforms at Footscray station, which were provided with a new style of next train display screen. Can you spot the errors?
