When you've moved to Melbourne and it takes over an hour to drive practically anywhere, and about 2 hours to get to the airport from the outer eastern suburbs!

Try getting a tram from South Melbourne to the CBD during peak hour.

I grew up alongside that trainline. Funny the things you see/do as a kid.
Throwing rocks, fruit, putting sleepers on the track, crushing coins, playing chicken.
Watched as homies tagged and bombed up stations and trains.
Trains are toys!

Once even hopped on the back of a goods train as it slowed down through Munno Para and hopped off at Elizabeth.

Hilltop Hoods payed homage to the "the next train will depart platform..." on their track Stopping All Stations.
