Mordi Fest this weekend MORDI Fest is set to return this weekend, bringing live music, food, and amusement rides to Mordialloc. A lineup including Youth Group, Dragon, Geoff Achison, Hobsons Bay Coast Guard, Jaguar Jonze, Press Club, and Feelds is set to take the stage during the two day festival. For the younger attendees, a ferris wheel and face painting will be set up. More than 40 food vans and restau-
rants will set up shop for the festival. The mayor Georgina Oxley said “we’ve got an exciting program packed with something for absolutely everybody.” “Mordi Fest provides visitors with big name musicians, up and coming bands, and the best gourmet food, regionally made wines and boutique beer Melbourne has to offer,” she said. Cr Oxley said that a crowd of more
than 40,000 was expected. The event runs from 11am-10pm Saturday 29 February and 11am-7pm Sunday 1 March. Entry is $2 or $5 for a family. All proceeds from entry will be donated to Wildlife Victoria and Zoos Victoria. More information at kingston.vic. gov.au/mordifest Mordi music: Performers onstage at the 2019 Mordi Fest.

Train users compensated RAIL users will be compensated for a substandard month of service in January. On the Frankston line, 11.3 per cent of trains ran late and more than 200 trains were cancelled. The figures fell below the statewide average of 91 per cent punctuality. Compensation is owed if the rail network fails to reach a target of 92 per cent punctuality for the month. Department of Transport head of transport services Jeroen Weimar said it “was disappointing that passengers continued to be impacted by these issues”. “It is frustrating that these disruptions impact our passengers who rely on trains and trams to get them where they need to go,” Mr Weimar said. “We continue to work with Metro Trains on plans to improve performance, through the rollout of initiatives including extra staff on station platforms, new technology on platform displays and ongoing work to prevent people illegally walking on tracks.” Passengers can visit the metrotrains. com.au to claim compensation.
