Re: Hawkesbury Rail Bridge - Heritage

Who is NSW Trains to lock access to these areas of great historical interest, only allowing select employees to see them? Sydney Trains look after the maintenance of the network. NSW TrainLink just run services. You too could be one of the select employees who get to see the bridge. https://jobsnsw...

Re: The Motoring Thread- for the motoring enthusiasts here

Do many members here have dashcams installed? I've got a VicoVation WF-1, and I love when it captures bad driving on the roads!

Re: What gives you the S&#T's!?

My local RMS office recently became a Service NSW centre. Before they changed over, there were massive stacks of all L and P plates that you could help yourself too, but now you have to go the welcome desk and ask for them. They gave me 4 P plates when I last went :roll: I was impressed with this Hi...

People that steal P plates - they're free at the RMS/Service NSW FFS! Even more annoying this weekend, as Fail to Display P plates carries 2 demerit points, and being double demerits, I could have lost my licence if I was pulled over by one of the 6 police cars I passed on the drive home.

The one on P1 is for people who enter station via the turnstile, however I think they should have put 2 in due to number of people that enter the station via that way. There was a small team of people finishing off the install yesterday (Tue...

Opal readers noted at Ourimbah this morning, and also at Lisarow and Narara this afternoon, so presumably Niagara Park has been done too.
