Saw a guy try and leave my train last second - he stuck his hand in the closing door and I believe he pulled the green emergency handle on the Platform Screen Door, I think tripping an Unscheduled Door Opening alarm. The driver opened & closed the doors multiple times to no avail
Have fun deciphering this week's Frankston Line timetable! Each listed service may run:
• Mondays
• Tuesdays and Thursdays
• Not Tuesdays and Thursdays
• Wednesdays
• Tuesdays - Thursdays
• or, none of the above (Monday through Thursday)
Similar signal gantry at the up end of Kangaroo Flat, from the short section of double track from Bendigo into the single line section towards Ravenswood Loop
And next the home signals at Gisborne. Clear (green) normal or medium speed aspects only departing Gisborne. Trains cannot depart until the train ahead is beyond Clarkefield towards Melbourne, or beyond Woodend towards Bendigo, both around 15km or 11 minutes away.
Automatic signals MM698 and M698 just short of Macedon on the Bendigo line. These are the first signals encountered after departing Woodend, leading into the Gisborne interlocking (slash block post...)
Another little tidbit in the Geelong timetable: three post evening peak hour services depart Waurn Ponds with six carriages, then at Geelong the train divides with the front three continuing on to Melbourne, and the rear three stable in Geelong Loco.
In the current timetable, the weekday 17:09 Warrnambool service runs as six carriages down through Geelong, then splits in half at Waurn Ponds. The front half departs and leaves for Warrnambool... [thread 🧵]
leaving the second half in the platform, which then departs shortly behind for the nearby stabling sidings. (Note the bottom green without 80 indicator, which then improved to have the 80)
