Transport in Mernda
Mernda is at the far end of our area and at the end of its train line. Learning that line properly — the platform, the change at the other end, what to do if a train is cancelled — is one of the most common goals people here bring to us.
Travel and transport has two halves, and they are funded differently. The worker's time comes out of your support funding; the travel itself is either activity-based transport or the transport funding sitting in your plan. Most people use both. Both are set out in writing before the first trip, so there is nothing to work out at the end of the month.

Yes, and we do it on the real trip you want to make rather than a practice one. The walk to the station, touching on, the platform, the change, and the walk at the other end. We also work out what you do when a train is cancelled, because that is the part that stops most people.
Yes, and most people do. Being driven to the things you cannot miss — appointments, work, a class — while you practise the route in easier conditions is the normal way to do this. The lifts reduce as the travelling picks up.
