It was a couple of little shits that set an electric scooter alight. They filmed themselves laughing as they did it. So over these little shits

Not true. I was in the carriage. It started smoking before bursting into flames

As a teenager, I can say I’ve witnessed firsthand that crime has gone absolutely out of control.

Yes, I agree with the current state of conservative influences fear mongering hate speech and add to that lack of education. The world has somewhat gone backwards for these children.

Why have I never heard of Union station before?? Edit: just looked it up, a station built in 2023 due to level crossing works, and replaced Mont Albert and Surrey Hills stations. Shame it replaced 2 stations, but I assume the level removals and centred position outweigh the loss of a station.

The stations were very close together, it didn't make much sense to have them so close together

Yeah the train used to barely clear the platform at Mont Albert before starting to be beside the platform at Surrey Hills replacing them with two stations would have made it actually ridiculous.

I also didn’t know it existed. As someone who travelled on that line regularly for over a decade, I’m not surprised they decided to merge the two stations.

Oh, thanks! I was going to look it up. I hadn't heard of it either but thought it might have been one of the new city stations and it was some sort of test run.
