- 17.15 Shoutout to the driver on the Werribee train currently stuck at Yarraville: announcements have been clear and regular, to keep us updated.  It was the 16.49 express from Southern Cross. Not quite so express now, but that's how it goes sometimes.
- 17.31 Clearing.
- 17.50 I’ve had enough of this poor service on the Werribee line.  I’m now going to be very late for work & lose money. Thanks again.
- 18.15: 17.38 to Flinders St turns up at 18.14; meanwhile four trains arrive in that time, but only one goes to Flinders St.  Great service again
