Train pain for footy fans

FOOTY fans face a dash across the Melbourne CBD tomorrow while travelling to and from the Cats v Collingwood game at the MCG. V/Line says Geelong trains will not run to or from Richmond Station.

Again? Wasn’t going to Richmond for the Easter Monday game either. Disappointing for the fans who catch the train. Jamie Law

5-10 minutes to change trains. Aaron Yuddy

How will the poor Cats fans live? Stu Villanti

This game should be near the South Geelong station anyway. Nicholas Vella

The struggle will be real for them on Sunday. They still get 4-5 extra trains up and back. Andrew Young

What about the Richmond game in Geelong last year? How many Tigers turned up? Probably 5k at most. Jamie Copeland

Just wish they would give us enough carriages or extra trains some weeks to make life easier. Ben Young

Get three mates and Uber the trip. Guaranteed a seat. Andrew McGlashan

Nightmare. Nicole Lee

Catch the ferry leaving from Geelong to Melbourne especially for the footy. Licensed cafe on-board. No worries about trains. Iris Hammond

Catch the train from Geelong to the G every Pies game — it’s not that hard, nor does it take much time at all to jump on another train to get to Richmond or Jolimont. Nicole Vinson

It was always that way, only used to go to Spencer. The world just keeps finding more to cry about. Brian Spooner

Shock, horror! Trains that don’t go to Richmond are not going to Richmond. Tahlia Sinclair

If only there was a way to get from one train station to another train station without walking. Nathan Gauci

They’ve never gone any further than Southern Cross for as long as I can remember. Mark Howard
