Currently on a Belgrave train. Not sure where your photo is taken from but I got on the “5:56” Belgrave train at Richmond at around 6:05pm.
Train crawled at almost walking pace, stopping and starting until Ringwood where it turfed everyone off, abruptly and stabled itself.
There was a Lilydale train one signal block behind it and another Belgrave train one block behind that one which picked everyone back up.
Just another day on the shitty, perpetually overloaded Belgrave line.

Not usually that bad. The Belgrave line suffered cancellations and significant delays due to a trespasser in Box Hill earlier.

Probably get cancelled as well or packed to the rafters running 3 carriages. Knowing those mob

Was on that train line today, was a trespasser in the Box Hill area, the trespasser issue seems to have become a lot more frequent this year so far

FOUR trains to get home tonight.
I boarded the 5:03 Lilydale service at Flagstaff (TRAIN 1).
After significant delays due to the tresspasser/s, passengers were ordered to disembark at East Camberwell at 5:49. As no express trains stop at East Camberwell, I opted to return to Camberwell on the same train I was advised to disembark (TRAIN 2), at 5:55.
I arrived at Camberwell at 5:59, and was on a Mooroolbark train at 6:00 (TRAIN 3).
This train then terminated at Ringwood at 6.22.
I boarded my FOURTH train at 6:31. Arrived at my local station at 6:41.

I was stuck just before Glenferrie too which was annoying, but this photo is a bit misleading because it is a daily occurrence to have 100+ min waits showing on the PIDs at East Camberwell-Chatham platform 2 because that track is used for express trains during peak and the trains that stop at these stations use platform 3

WFS (Work From Station) if you can.

Lack of fast rail is starting to stick out like a sore thumb. It’s an absolute shame we don’t have fast rail connecting our major cities. Hopefully now they will prioritise it! As for public transport in a city like Melbourne, there should be trains every few minutes like in London.

Train line to Melbourne Airport. Id like too see that.

Yep they say we are one the most livable cities but our PT is trash and expensive.

As a biker I can say it is so much more freeing

Am I the only one who has never actually seen a trespasser on the tracks before yet always get delayed by one? Can anyone comment what they have seen? Are they afflicted by some conditions or just teenagers doing stupid things ?

Belgrave line is a mess anyway especially at the end. The half an hour frequency out here is a joke, 2 trains an hour when they run 3 an hour on weekends so clearly have the capacity to do it weeklong.

The stony point line looking like a turn up and go service by comparison to this

Nice. Shouldn’t be too much longer now.
