Five ways you can tell you are in Melbourne, not Sydney

Part Two: Easy-access stations
Aligned with yesterday's level crossing, is the fact that access to Melbourne train stations is usually via a minimal number of steps, or a ramp. Contrast this with my local station in Sydney, which you can only get to the platforms by going up a whole heap of stairs, and down another heap of stairs. Makes it really hard for mums with prams, anyone with physical challenges, older people and so on.

  1. Without wanting to put fuel on a simmering fire, there appears to be a difference in the colour of the sky as well! ;-)

  2. As an increasingly arthritic old crone I'd forgo the sky to have easy access. There are days when those steps kill me.
