		Melbourne kicked the first four goals of the last quarter.

	GRAPHIC INSIGHT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		There are numerous places around Melbourne’s suburbs from where it is possible to board either a train or a tram to the city.
		Most striking is that in every single case the train is faster than the tram, only slightly so when coming from the Northern suburbs particularly from the Upfield line, but much more definitely so when coming from the Southern suburbs such as Glenhuntly, Caulfield, Elsternwick etc.
		Nevertheless, whilst the train journey would be 7 minutes longer and the tram journey 4 minutes shorter, the 11 minute relative improvement for trams from Southern destinations would still leave trains as the significantly faster mode for city-bound trips.

		Royal Park is the largest park within short walking (or tramming) distance from the Melbourne CBD, and on most days it is easy to find large expanses of park where you cannot see another living soul - quite remarkable for a city of 3 million people.

		The area on the west of the railway was "out of sight" and over time was used for institutions such as a juvenile detention centre, psychiatric hospital, Commonwealth Serum Laboratories and a number of playing fields.

		I live on the Alamein line, but refuse to use it in the mornings, due to the fact that although it is peak hour, the trains only run every 20 minutes.
		In London which has a huge population compared to Melbourne, they manage to have bus lines that service every suburb and a tube system which contrary to popular belief does run very well and at least trains are usually only 2-6 minutes apart, yet Melbourne cannot support a smaller population.
		There are more trains going North in peak hour than there are heading into the city and often there are only 3 0r 4 carriges in the peak hour period casuing everyone to be squashed in together or you just have to miss the train and wait for the next one!
