Apparently there's frame damage, which I didn't see. Didn't think it was that bad to be honest. Oh well, now at least it'll be new again :D

I work on Burwood Rd next to Hawthorn station. It's a long road, so it makes quite a difference where you're going. You can catch the airport shuttle to spencer st station (sorry, southern cross station :roll: ), less than 30 minutes, and then catch one of the many train lines that go through Hawthorn station. Not sure how many trains go express through Hawthorn station though.
