Any #iOS experts here? We have an 8th gen iPad (32 Gb) on #iPadOS 18.6. Requires 15 Gb free to install 26. Basically impossible to get above 13 Gb free without wiping the whole thing. 18 is still supported, there's an 18.7 security release... but not displayed as an upgrade option. Any ideas?

🎂🚇Happy 45th birthday to Melbourne Central, opened 24th January 1981 as Museum Station. The Metro Tunnel frees up space in the City Loop - now is the time for more services, especially for lines with 30-40 minute gaps on weekends, evenings, and off-peak times.

Along with frequent reliable services, Tap-And-Go fare payment options are a key upgrade to help get new users onto public transport. No special #Myki card, no figuring out how much the fare is, or how to load it. Just use your existing bank card or phone. Good news that it's progressing.

Good to see progress. I'm told that when they switch it on publicly for trains, it'll be all trains currently included in Myki, including V/Line. Buses and trams will be later. I think "Tap and go" is a better term than "Contactless" by the way. www.abc.net.au/news/... #PublicTransport #Melbourne

This is good fun. Choose your ABC (Australia) clock, tweak the interference, ghosting etc. You can even choose when to have the pips. @dirtyfeed.org @matt.cymru @aldupres.bsky.social mubd.net.au/tv-history/a...

Where is transit expansion happening around the world? Basically everywhere! Brand new on The Transport Politic: The hundreds of metro, light rail, bus, & aerial tram projects planned to open in 2026. 🛤️ 🚋 🚌 www.thetransportpolitic.com/2026/01/20/t...

Remember the fuss about the shortcut between State Library and #Melbourne Central stations? Storm in a teacup, but they fixed it... by making the ticketing system think SL is actually MC. Kind of amusing given the insistence on giving them separate names in the first place.

We're on board with the City of Casey's call to extend the Cranbourne line. The fast-growing southeast of #Melbourne needs better public transport to help get people out of the traffic.

Did a segment on ABC Radio Melbourne with Brigitte Duclos today that shifted from the usual chat with the presenter to taking talkback.😬 Good fun - makes you think on your feet! Listen here, starts at about 4m:30s www.abc.net.au/liste... #PublicTransport

Good session today with the gang from the @ptua.org.au committee, planning out the year ahead. #PublicTransport Somehow the camera blurred absolutely everyone except me.

🎾🚆No extra trains for the tennis this morning on the Lilydale/Belgrave line... Sunday morning trains only every 30 minutes from Ringwood to the City don't cut it. More services needed. (Pic by gertiegoogoo on Reddit)

This was posted in the various PTUA social media channels. On three of them it elicited racist comments. Deleted and/or blocked on sight. Unfortunately not surprised, but disappointed.

Since we’re all posting stuff from #2016, here’s one from me. Okay the sign is from 2016, the photo of it is from about an hour ago.

Areas in #Melbourne 's growing west like #Melton and Wyndham Vale need frequent, higher capacity suburban trains to cut crowding and keep people moving. Electrification done with track expansion would also help speed up journeys from Geelong and Ballarat.

Hitachi for a home? For sale in Sarsfield (near Bairnsdale) "A converted Victorian Railways train carriage has left the tracks and hit the market in country Victoria, with price hopes of $590,000 to $630,000." www.domain.com.au/ne...

The February timetable doubles the number of trains to some stations.👍👍👍 But other areas continue to rely on infrequent services. The upgrades show what is possible - time for the State Government to invest in more trains more often across the network.

Shopping for a new electric shaver. Decided two key criteria would be a "Recommended" rating in Choice, and a USB charging connection (one less thing to take when travelling). This led me to a model which has Bluetooth and a mobile app, and now I think I might just grow a beard.🧔‍♂️

This seems like a Big Deal. Its on the front page of The Guardian website, as it should be. Its NOT on the front page of The Australian, The Daily Telegraph, the Herald Sun or Sky News. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I am not convinced this wayfinding is perfect. ↖️↙️↗️↘️ #Melbourne #MetroTunnel

🚌and bus changes coming too 🤔️What about the rest of the rail network? Nothing for most other lines yet. The Tunnel frees up capacity - there's a clear opportunity for State Government to fund more trains more often across the network. Read more on our web site: ptua.org.au/posts/2026/p...

Once in a blue moon, everybody wants to talk about train timetables. It happened this week.🚉🕑😊 Here's me on 7 News yesterday... www.youtube.com/watc... #Melbourne #PublicTransport

Details of the Metro Tunnel timetables have arrived, starting 1st February... 🚇Metro tunnel service about every 5 minutes in peak 🌃At least every 10 minutes all day until midnight between West Footscray and Dandenong 🕐Every 10 minutes out to Watergardens until 9pm weeknights, 7:30pm weekends ...

The Metro Tunnel timetables have been published... it's a big boost for some stations, trains doubling in frequency in some cases. This is a good start at providing a frequent network across more of #Melbourne. State govt needs to keep the upgrades coming. Read more: danielbowen.com/2026...

Wasn't feeling great about buying a new joystick for $90, then I realised the one I bought back in the day cost me $30 in circa 1985 dollars... which is about $105 now. ... okay $90 still seems like a lot of money, but oh well 🤷 #retrogaming

Melbourne dressed up as New York City for a film shoot!📽️ One thing that NYC has that we need is a frequent metro service all day every day that allows people to get around easily without driving. The full Metro Tunnel timetable from February will help, but other lines also need upgrades.

🎸🚶The walk back from a Festival Hall concert to North #Melbourne station last night. Better footpaths wouldn’t hurt, but there’s little traffic. What would really make this better is more frequent evening trains so you don’t face a long wait to get home.

A pic from passing through Longwood about a year ago. Hoping for the best for all the locals there and elsewhere affected by the fires. Stay safe. #VicFires

These secret lairs are an OH&S nightmare. Even without the killer robots. #c64 #ImpossibleMission

Where am I? It doesn't seem like there's enough signage on the platforms for new underground stations set to be some of the busiest on the network. #Melbourne #MetroTunnel Read more on the blog: danielbowen.com/2026...

⚠️Widespread disruptions on V/Line on Friday due to catastrophic fire danger. No services or coaches on several lines. Many coach routes also affected. Check latest details from V/Line here: www.vline.com.au/Ser... For other modes: transport.vic.gov.au...

Unexpected cancellations have a much greater impact when services are infrequent. We hope The Big Switch delivers better than 20 minute frequency through the munnel and across the network.

V/Line has widespread delays (including from heat)... heat also delaying Metro #Melbourne this afternoon: Hurstbridge/Mernda lines up to 25 mins Craigieburn/Sunbury/Upfield up to 35 mins Werribee/Williamstown up to 35 mins For other lines, no delays published at this stage.

Toronto's new Line 6 though? I'd heard it was bad but I really wasn't prepared for just how miserable it was. at every single intersection, every turn movement goes before the tram, losing at least a minute every single time. I'm in disbelief this was approved to open in this condition

Many trams don't yet have air con, but are slowly being upgraded/replaced. Buses and trains do, but extreme heat can still cause disruptions. How's the temperature on your public transport service today? Any delays due to heat?🥵

More frequent services all day every day would get a lot more people onto public transport and out of the traffic. Big improvements are possible without a huge investment in bigger fleets and more track. #Melbourne #PublicTransport

The "safety" fencing at the new Hyde St path is going well 🙄 I've copied these pics from someone who ride there today. #WestgateTunnel

From ten years ago: that time it was discovered the #Myki ticket system would sometimes pay you $1.52 to travel.

Public transport fares for #Melbourne and Victoria have just risen, but right now are displayed almost nowhere on the system. The only up to date poster you'll find just has a QR code. Read more: danielbowen.com/2026...
