Coming railway events:
Buckley Street level crossing removal public forum and panel Q&A, Saturday, 29 April, 10am-12pm, Clocktower Centre. LXRA is determined to inflict another urban blight solution, which ignores doing Moonee Ponds to. The council's solution is better, but doesn't match the dictatorial government's 'cheapest and nastiest' option.

Is this Melbourne's worst bus? The ABC's Norman Hermant tweeted these pics of a heavily vandalised bus.
Norman Hermant‏ Transdev bus 375 (route 220) is a real urban warrior. Tagged, and lights not working.
But at least this bus is operational. James Adams tweeted that the last route 207 bus of the day ran out of fuel last night, leaving passengers stranded.
The 0.33 route 207 last bus of the night has run out of fuel at Kew Junction. Passengers were told to find alternative transport (there are none).
