My tram line. This or the Route 70 to Hawthorn. Catch it to and from Docklands. I hopped on it today to see what was on the line post Camberwell. Got to the end and had a servo coffee and McDonalds 😂
At the end of the route, there are mors shops that are certainly more notable than McDonald's. Additionally, the edges of the tram network is simply the suburbs; If the tram continued along the Burwood Highway, to the end of the highway, it would reach the edge of Melbourne. There are many notable points along the route that could have been highlighted.
Congrats! Love how you documented the end of the marathon. The BONK is real…and you made it through. I ran my only full marathon in 2012 in Hangzhou, China. It was amazing to run a marathon in another country. It’s something I’ll never forget. 4:17 was my time. Not great. Not terrible. But, I finished. ❤
Interesting to note that you failed to mention the cheapest way to get from the airport to the city which is the method I ALWAYS use when i visit Melbourne.I catch the 901 bus from just outside terminal 4 which goes to Broadmeadow station and from there its a direct train to Flinders Street. 15 mins on the bus and then 35 mins on the train for a total of 50 minutes for just a few dollars. Much more economical that the rip off Sky Bus (or a taxi) that might get you into the city maybe just 15 minutes quicker than the cheap bus/train route
How can a reviewer of airlines have absolutely no idea how to pronounce the name of the carrier. Ruined what would otherwise have been something worth watching.
watching this well after 2024s gp only just got into f1, excited to attend the melbourne gp next year. pity i don't live in melbourne to see this come together. hoping for a mclaren win in 2025.
Where I live we only have Qantaslink as our flight option and the fares are expensive but given the classic rewards works on distance not cost of fare it is insanely good value to use them on the first leg of every trip I do. I do enough domestic flying to gain my Platinum status each year (especially if you use the double status offer each year well) Internationally for me it is more about what options I have as I rarely travel to any of Qantas' destinations anyway, but the status is useful for Emirates and even Qantas' least favourite friend? Qatar. As using one of them I can one hop to anywhere in Europe/Africa/Central Asia. Same with American/Frontier in USA/Central America. I have recently started my Krisflyer journey (using credit card and status match) to open up even more options Internationally, and as I have my Platinum through domestic and Platinum One offers no real benefit given where I live I don't really care about missing the status on the international flights if that happens to be the case.
Does Qantas Gold status help you find more classic reward seats over silver and bronze or not really these days since Qantas release classic reward seats in batches for all?
5:17 Ok so you have to have another card just for the public transport? :D Actually I live in Prague, you can buy it (pay deposit for transit card) IF you want and do not use credit cards (many eldery use just cash and were using paper yearly passes) but you either can pay by debit/credit card OR if you have monthly/ yearly pass, you just have an app and show QR code to the controling ticket person or scan QR in bus/tram as you did with the card. The laser just scans QR code from your phone screen :D . So there is an option for Myki but not requirement ... strange ... so there is no mobile app for electronic Myki?
FAKE NEWS! The longest tram line is the world is Belgium's "Kusttram" (coast tram), running along the whole length of the Belgian coast on 67 km (40 mi). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_Tram Melbourne is arguably among the very top "tram-friendly cities" in the world, it's undisputably a tram Mecca but it just doesn't have the longest tram line in the world. You haven't even conducted a proper fact-check before publishing this report. It's simply wrong.
Some points of interest: 1. The 75 route is the longest urban tramway in the world because it was 'through-routed' or linked to the Docklands route. The 75 used to terminate in the City at Spencer St, so it is effectively two routes joined together. Same goes for the second-longest Bundoora line. 2. The Gold Coast extension due to open next year will be 26km long (currently it is 20km long - with no 'through-linking'!), so route 75 won't be the longest for long! (Maybe Melbourne could cheat and regain the title by looping through route 75 with route 86 to Bundoora!). 3. The longest tram line in Australia closed many years ago - it ran from Newcastle to West Wallsend and was 25km long. But again, from next year the 26km Gold Coast line will hold that title. 4. There are serious plans to extend the Goldie line south to the border - that will be 39km if it happens, and it's looking very likely it will happen, but who knows, it may not happen.
Man, this is crazy, seems like building a street circuit and removing it costs more than maintaining a permanent circuit. Would want to, Is it so in reality? And, fantastic video! Great effort to show us the behind the scenes of an street circuit grand prix! Must be pretty surreal to touch and feel the barriers where they crashed.
