That's a pretty good list.
It's tough business ranking things you love.
Even my bottom 5 here have their up sides & I'll defend them, but that's the fun of creating a list like this, someone has to come last, or 18th, or 11th. They're still loved.
Anyway, here's how my list stands at the moment.

With all the Metro Tunnel opening hype yesterday, I never got to have a decent look at Arden Station.
Ironically as it was the first station to be complete, but hey, I made it quite clear to myself, I wasn't going to look at any of these stations until they were in service, so today, I am at Arden.

More Metro Tunnel goodness, the new Town Hall Station is very big and well suited to large crowds.
I might not be sold on the mimes, but the stations themselves are quite impressive, even if Town Hall isn't yet fully complete.

I joined the first train from Sunbury at Diggers Rest, foolishly thinking there wouldn't be too big a crowd. I luckily managed to get a rare seat.
The train is already approaching a crush crowd now as we pull out of St Albans

These new fangled passenger displays are pretty nifty.
Except we are on a Craigieburn train.

As well as Parkville, the main concourse at the new State Library station has opened, including the connection to the old Melbourne Central station.
It is a very easy connection and will no doubt prove popular.

Melbourne's new Parkville station is partially open for viewing. Trains start running from this Sunday.
In short, it's very impressive.

Visited a very new part of town today. Fair to say, they are running out of ideas when it comes to naming new roads.
