New Melbourne train station names

[Thrawn]

Surely a footballer should be acknowledged.

Why? They get acknowledged enough anyway.

 

[Thrawn]

Sooze station.

 

[master bate]

I'd call them:

Carey
University
Coventry
Lockett
Dunstall

 

[Topkent]

What about the Neeld station, constantly exploding with melbourne senior players aboard while a bunch of Dee's fans stand around peering through their fingers

 

[yyou]

Excellent
& not Bogus

Wait til you guys see how awesome McGuire Station will be. Located directly under the Holden Centre, connecting stations will also conveniently be built at the homes of all Collingwood players and employees, as well as the MCG and Etihad Stadium, and all interstate stadiums. First Class carriages will be pulled by 300km/h super trains between all stations.

At this stage it'll only be used by Collingwood players and officials, but who knows what the future will hold!

Now let's all give thanks for being blessed with a visionary like Eddie. Somebody who purely wants Melbourne to be number 1, and is good enough to get these projects off the ground!

And fully funded by the government.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Surely there will be a freekickhawthornstation

Ticket machines only accept $50's and $100's in a brown paper bag.

'Sunday 4.40' an unpopular ghost station that you hope isn't on your line.

 

[pazza]

Teddy has enough recognition.

I'm going CBD North to be known as Barassi.
The station under King's Domain is Sheedy.
Leigh Matthews gets honoured at CBD South
Parkville is to be known as Crouch - in honour of Jeff Crouch who ran the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal after his umpiring career.
And Arden? That can stay as it is.

Wayne Carey station. Stops for five minutes so your wife can jump off and grab a quickie.

It's a worry that his idiot idea is even getting lip service instead of being laughed out of the room.

 

[FRUMPY]

Kellie Stevens station outside arden street, people would get off just to use the toilets

 

[juss]

The Bandwagon
All aboard.

In all seriousness ffs just name them sensible names based on where they are.

 

[JUBJUB]

Sooze station.

She'd know every passenger......or be related to them

 

[juss]

Wayne Carey station. Stops for five minutes so your wife can jump off and grab a quickie.

From this station you can ride for free if your with your mates wife.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Five underground Mebourne City stations hey? How about Parliament, Flagstaff, Melbourne Central, Southern Cross and Flinders Street?

Oh wait, we already have an underground rail tunnel and yet we're building ANOTHER one? When we still don't have reliable transit to outer suburbs like Brisbane does...

Thing about reliable transport to outer suburbs is it has to go somewhere... Ie into the city... which is already at breaking point.

If you want trains to the outer suburbs, you have to beef up the CBD first. Oh and remove level crossings.

They're on the right track, no pun intended.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Arden street: Grieg

Parkville: University

North cbd: Nichols

South CBD: Pratt

Domain: Baldock

 

[JPetro83]

One of them will have to be a footballer.. maybe EJ Whitten station or Bob Skilton Station. Has to be someone from yesteryear... Actually a Ron Barassi station in the heart of the CBD would make sense.
Id love for a station to be named after Chopper Reid or Squizzy Taylor

 

[Rickee]

Move closer to the city then.

I live in Hawthorn and public transport is still a mess here. It's a combination of ageing infrastructure and incompetent management, location is immaterial.

There are what three tram lines and three train stations in Hawthorn?

 

[eth-dog]

There are what three tram lines and three train stations in Hawthorn?

Yep. And at least one bus that goes through Camberwell.

 

[The 747]

Yep. And at least one bus that goes through Camberwell.

Forgot that one, I think people in some other suburbs have a bit more to complain about than someone in Hawthorn.

 

[Doss]

'Waverley Park'. Hey, it was meant to get a station....

 

[Franc de Borges]

Panic Stations
