12 minutes. That’s how long it takes to catch the express train from Clifton Hill railway station and reach the CBD. Now that might seem a strange thing to write about as the first post in this blog, but as someone who hates commuting, this was one of the first things that made me think ‘This is a good suburb to live in!’
Being located at the junction of the Epping and Hurstbridge lines, Clifton Hill is serviced by twice the number of trains as a ‘normal’ station and being the start of the limited express service, there is only one other stop during peak hours before you reach the CBD.
Complaining about the state of public transport in Melbourne is a favourite past time, but at Clifton Hill I can honestly say that there is little to improve – fast, generally on-time, few cancellations and safe.
