Some More Randomness 6

Okay, I admit that I'm lazy.

Umm...not much actual gunzelling in the past four weeks, however I have done route 580. I've mostly been taking photos for the last month, about 120 in fact. One day I'm going to upload all of these photos I've taken, but considering the sheer volume of them that might take a while.

In the next week or so, I've got a fair bit of gunzelling to do - I'm going to focus on the Frankston area this week mainly, since a couple of routes around there are getting altered/deleted. I'll probably do some gunzelling around there on Thursday and Saturday.

On Easter Monday I might do route 901...or I might do it on the Tuesday and combine it with some other routes in the Ringwood/Croydon area, I'm not sure yet.

Randomness 20

Apologies (again) for the lack of updates, but I've done fuck all gunzelling in the last month apart from a couple of bus routes.

However:

• I have completed planning for five minor trips for bunzelling, and three days of station hopping.
• Actually doing said bunzelling would add about 35 bus routes to my list, in the areas of:
  • Frankston
  • Werribee
  • Ringwood, Croydon, Lilydale, Belgrave
  • Dandenong, Berwick, Cranbourne
  • Epping, Greensborough.
• Actually doing said station hopping would add approximately 25 stations to my list, being all stations from:
  • Donnybrook to Seymour
  • Nar Nar Goon to Trafalgar
  • Macedon to Castlemaine.
• I've also completed planning for two major station hopping/bunzelling trips, which will be dependent on me having sufficient cash available:
  • One to Bendigo, doing all three stations plus at least 75% of bus routes and arriving back at Sydenham at 22:09.
  • One to the Latrobe Valley, doing all three train stations and all Valley Transit bus routes except Traralgon to Churchill.
• In addition to that, I've completed planning for an overnight trip involving a few Nightrider routes, which will probably be done in conjunction with the Craigieburn electrification opening, so I can also gunzel the first spark.

Exciting times are ahead, perhaps. And it's going to cost a fair bit, and take up a lot of my time. But I have plenty of it anyway, since I finished uni for this semester on Friday.

Proof that I am a loser

It's awesome to know that for the first time ever, I ushered in the new year while gunzelling.

So, I was officially the last person to get off an up train at Laburnum, and get on a down train, before it got demolished. :D

What's worse is that I was gunzelling for 21 hours, without falling asleep.
