Last Friday I was on a Comeng train at East Pakenham.
This was my first and might just be, my final time I will ever witness a Comeng train at East Pakenham.

Yesterday I completed my last Metro Trains replacement bus standby shift for unplanned disruptions for the current contract holder of the replacement bus service.
The new contract holder of the train replacement bus services begin operations on Monday at 3am local time. I wish them good luck.

Glen Waverley line bus replacement, Limited Express and stopping all stations buses both scheduled to leave Richmond at the same time.
Guess which service got to Glen Waverley first?
Stopping all stations. Because too many people wanted Limited Express, it departed Richmond 5 minutes late.

My cellular mobile data usage is out of control, in the last 10 days, I have used 80 GBs.
And once upon a time I used to only use 5 GBs in a year.
What am I using my mobile data on you ask? Well, on discord group video calls, streaming live TV, live twitch streams and YouTube videos.
