I used Metlink’s journey planner to tell me how best to reach the airport tomorrow morning, should I wish not to catch a cab. Here’s one of the options it told me. I am seriously not making this up.
- Starting at my usual train station at 2.48am, walk to the Night Rider stop.
- At 2.56am, take the Night Rider bus to Craigieburn.
- At 3.26am get out of the bus and wait for the 3.30 Night Rider bus towards the city. (This is probably the same bus.)
- At 4.26, when the bus arrives at Swanston Street, get out and walk to Flinders Street.
- Wait for the 5.14 train towards Glen Waverley.
- Get out at Southern Cross Station (the very next stop) and take the 5.30am Skybus. (Apparently this is better than if you’d just walked to Southern Cross from Flinders Street.)
- Arrive at the airport about 5.54am.
That is: depart 2.48am and arrive 5.54am, for a total of 3h 6m.
If you’re not familiar with Melbourne, this map should make everything clearer.

That is comedy Gold Raena. Sounds almost as good as the time my SatNav told me I had to go via Lauceston to get to Great Lake.
