[edit] earlier comments

Should this page be moved to Puffing Billy train line, Melbourne to bring it in line with the other Melbourne train lines? (See Template:MelbourneTrainLines). Hypernovean 13:36, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Its proper name is Puffing Billy Railway, so it should be a variation on that - David Gerard 14:04, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

So howsabout Puffing Billy Railway, Melbourne? Hypernovean 23:19, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Sounds OK to me. OTOH, it doesn't really fit in with the others (it's not a commuter line) ... - David Gerard 23:38, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Done, and done. I just think it's important to have the place name in the title with articles like this. Hypernovean 05:47, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Fine by me. BTW, User:Redcountess and I visited Melbourne in April, went on PB and got a huge number of photos ... we will have something to add to this one soon - David Gerard 12:06, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Is it appropriate to describe Staff and Ticket safeworking, and on-board conductors as being specific to the VR era when both are still in place in Victoria? (staff and ticketing operates on parts of the Hurstbridge line, possibly others, and V/Line and Stony Point services still have conductors.) 203.45.12.120 17:59, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Clerk

Why is having the pronunciation of clerk important in this article? --203.220.171.94 (talk) 13:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Because it is pronounced "clerk" in some parts of the world and often by the younger generations of Australians, so it is giving people a true understanding of the situation.--Supt. of Printing (talk) 21:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
