Do Not Read This Title

My comment on Facebook wasn't prompted by the number of Victorian stations that I have photos, but number of photos of stations, parts of, lines leading into that I have in relative to other photos of Melbourne/Victoria. I spend half an hour at Wangaratta waiting for a bus and there's not much else to do other than wander along the station platform. Or I take a couple of photos every time I go through Southern Cross. You get the idea :)

But have them I do, so for your amusement, photos of Victorian train stations. In alphabetical order. (Spelling might be wrong for a couple, as I took it from the out-of-focus signs in the photos.)



Benalla (that's a actually a signal tower at the entrance, but the best I had)



Bendigo

I has train.

That is, the Victorian Goldfields Railway train. It runs from Castlemaine to Maldon, but only on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so I had to structure my trip around the it.

The plan was... Wednesday morning take a Metlink train into Melbourne City/Southern Cross station, change to a Vline train for the 1.5 hour trip to Castlemaine, get off here for the stream train to Maldon, spend just under 2 hours then, catch steam train back, and another Vline train to Bendigo for the night.

Up until the day, I worried it might not be worth the hassle.



( Photos. Really. )

And I am woken up at 5 am by the radio beside the bed coming on. Arck. Of course, body insists it is Time To Get Up so know going back to sleep.

And no need to be anywhere before 9 am.

Still if I take it slow over breakfast, getting dressed, walking to train station...
