I was the booking clerk @ MP from 1965-68. Really enjoyed seeing the station. I have written an article in Nov 2024 NewsRail mgazine on my time at the station. The school you went to was MP West. I attended there 1951-56 and had to cross that footbridge everyday.
Another great Vlog, a railway station, that I’m not familiar with at all , but looks very historic, and the metro train in this video, looks out of place! Pity you couldn’t get a view of the station with a steam train passing! Cheers from Downunder 🦘🦘🦘❤️🇦🇺
Yeah very interesting video that will be part of my description when I get the eventually doing suburban railway and trains and also to the advertising on the station you don't see that much now these days
Only thing I can see has changed, in that 2015 photo, is that the bill boards of the 1950s are gone. Lota of Saturday mornings in Puckle St., with mum and dad shopping.
The Puckle Street tram ran until about 1950 and went down Mount Alexander Road to Monnie Ponds Junction.
thanks ... I wasn't 100% sure if a tram ever ran along Puckle Street 👍

great little cafe for coffee on the outbound side of the tracks (just across the road)
You need to do some videos on the historic stations on the Fawkner/Upfield line before they're demolished to make way for a 'sky rail'.
Guy Fawkes night, held on the 5th November? way back in the good old days 😁
fun times were had on that night !
Good Video - Shared/Scheduled

many stations structurally, haven't changed much at all over the past 100 years (built once, built well)
Those were the days when you ran around all day outside.
yep, one would explore your neighbourhood on foot or by riding your bike around
