I left the overhead tram lines in as they are such a part of Melbourne much like the cable cars are to San Francisco. The commuters are blurred to show the hustle and bustle of peak hour in the city.
Facts..Wikipedia.
Flinders Street Station is the central railway station of the suburban rail network of Melbourne, Australia. It is on the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets next to the Yarra River in the heart of the city, stretching from Swanston Street to Queen Street and covering two city blocks.
Each weekday, over 110,000 commuters and 1,500 trains pass through the station. Flinders Street is serviced by Connex's (Soon to be MTM Under the new contract) suburban services, and V/Line regional services to Gippsland.
The Melburnian idiom "I'll meet you under the clocks" refers to the row of clocks above the main entrance, which indicate the departure time of the next train on each line. This is a popular meeting place, at the intersection of two of the city's busiest thoroughfares. The station is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.
