Title: Lost.
Post by: 90+FTW on March 03, 2015, 08:40:27 pm

Okay, so I have a lecture at Fedaration Hall on Thursday for my breadth subject. It's at the Southbank campus on Grant Stree but all the maps I've recently looked at have confused the hec out of me.

I have a 40 minute gap between my tutorial at the parkville campus and the lecture at the southbank one. Is there a tram line that I can take? I'm so confused, if anyone can help with navigation I'd be very grateful. Yeah yeah I know, I'm really shit at directions.

Okay, route 5 looks like it'll work. Not sure, if I've got this right though. Feel free to comment.

You can take the 3, 8 or 16 tram from the swanton street tram stop at the Parkville campus to get to the Southbank campus. There are probably a few more trams that you can also take but those I know go past there.

Edit: Apparently trams 64, 67 and 72 will also get you from Parkville to Southbank.

@notveryasian

How long do you think it'll take, 10 to 15mins? 40mins should be more than enough right?

As long as it takes me to Federation Hall (which is, according to my lecturer situated at South bank Campus) then the tram should work.

Yup 10-15 minutes sounds likely. You definitely have enough time to get to your lecture.

Super easy. Just take one of those routes down Swanston Street (you shouldn't have to wait much more than 5 minutes) and get off when you get to the VCA. To get to Federation Hall, you just have to keep walking down St. Kilda road to the edge of the campus, turn right at Grant St, walk a little ways down there and you'll see the sign. Once inside, just navigate the stairs and you're there. Shouldn't take much more than 20 minutes from door to door.

Fed Hall is actually more like a movie theatre than a lecture theatre – really nice actually, but not great for note taking as there are no fold out desks.

The whole VCA campus is pretty cool actually. Different vibe to Parkville anyway.

I live in Southbank, close to the VCA campus.

It takes me 30 minutes to get there from the uni.
