An update on what's happening at Hastings Station.

Aside from it being written by someone who's never been on the Stony Point line, we got a little laugh from it, but what do you think?

Let us know in the comments below.

Bec’s Unhinged Reviews:

The V/Line (Frankston to Stony Point) 💥

So you’ve survived Frankston Station. Congratulations, you’ve made it through the human circus.
There’s old mate shadow-boxing a bush, a bloke yelling at a ghost about ci******es, and someone who looks like they’ve been waiting for a train since 1994.
You dodge the chaos, clutch your Myki like a holy relic, and there she is, the mighty two-carriage V/Line, glowing like the gates of freedom.

You step on, waiting for Hagrid to pop out and roar, “Yer a Wizard Harry”
Instead, you get Old mate yelling, “Oi ya dog! I’ll fu***ng smash ya!”
This isn’t Hogwarts. This is Frankston’s own version: Harry The Pothead and the Train to Nowhere.

First stop: Somerville.
The train slows down just long enough for everyone to stare at the Aldi carpark and a bloke in a hi-vis eating a Chico Roll on his smoko. Magical.

Next up: Hastings.
Smells like burnt toast and disappointment. There’s always one bloke in a singlet yelling at his missus on speakerphone, full public performance, no shame.

Crib Point rolls in like a fever dream. Population: three locals, a rusty Commodore, and a tumble w**d.

Bittern – blink and you’ll miss it, which is probably doing you a favour.

And finally… Stony Point.
You’ve arrived at the end of the earth, where the wind slaps you like you owe it money and the only attraction is the ferry you missed by 30 seconds.
You look around and think, “Right. What the actual f**k now?”

There’s no café, no shop, no civilisation, just one sad bench and a timetable that feels like it’s written by pranksters.
The next train? Roughly three hours, two pay cycles, or 14 business days, whichever comes last.

So yeah, it’s a “magical” journey if your idea of magic involves regret, delays, and a faint smell of wet ugg boots.

A progress report from Hastings. 07/01/2025.

Not a lot has changed since the initial timber shelter went up. Temporary fencing still surrounds the former building and there are still no myki facilities.

There must be an election coming up!

Already a new structure is being built at Hastings Station, a day after it was demolished and this close to Christmas too! It's almost unheard of!

Thanks to everyone involved for the rapid progress.

An update on Hastings Station. 👍

Hastings train station update.

Trains are stopping at Hastings station for people to get on and off. Currently there is no Myki terminal however they are installing one which should be operational this evening or tomorrow.

They have built a couple of benches for seating and will put up a cover over those benches this afternoon so people waiting will have cover.

They are also attempting to repair the damage to the lighting and cabling so they can provide lighting to the area in the evening - this may be completed tonight or in the next day depending on the level of damage.

I congratulate Metro for getting on to this so fast and making sure we have a station that is operational at this very important holiday and Xmas period.

The remains of Hastings Station after the building was demolished following the fire Saturday morning. 😔

Cheers John for the photos! 👌
