Why do they do that? New trains only? Testing of some sort?

The 05:32 from Penrith Tangara that headed to the city only had staff members in the front unit as the guard was working from the Rear of the front Tangara is this normal to not have any safety crititcal staff in a unit?? No, it's not normal - though if this was the 5:32am service I doubt anyone bu...

City Circle stations? Not sure.

Croydon station platform 1 (Down Main) will be getting some use tonight due to trackwork. Not often that this happens, even rarer than 2 and 3. In fact, I can't recall ever using platform 1 when I used to use that station. Platform 1 Croydon makes no sense, because it can only serve the down line. ...

BTW an Uber to Asquith Station is only about $12 from Hornsby, taxi $14-16. I've done it multiple times before.

Those living "in the Cove" are always a bit up themselves, and think that Chatswood is theirs exclusively. In fact it's so sloppily written it's riddled with rubbish (worse than errors): https://i.imgur.com/mUoPDrD.jpg [emoji848] Maybe they need a geography lesson... And a spelling lesson...

Hang on: Chatswood to Lane Cove rail closure? There was never a line to begin with! Last time I checked, the rail line passes through North Ryde, unless it magically moved?

Consultation only.

Where's it say that? I read it as they're going to be taking feedback at public stands - like outside a bunch of Woolies stores.

This is a problem with the Government's double decker plan - they need to recognise they can't just all of a sudden stop ordering articulated buses. Unfortunately, in real life, double deckers can't go everywhere - so I guess they'll just have to order more artics to replace both ageing 14.5m and ot...

Are these going to be the same as Canberra's fully electric bus?

Well, Melbourne managed to change its eponymous Spencer St for a meaningless Southern Cross. Central isn't really central anymore. Maybe call it Haymarket? The thing is, Sydney doesn't really have a pattern to it's inner-city stations. Wynyard - landmark (?) Town Hall - landmark Central - "wel...

Noticed a clip on TV news over the weekend that Gladys/Andrew is "considering changing the name of Central Station to reflect its new role as a transport hub". Guess they might sell naming rights, like they do for stadiums. Is Central not Central enough now? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using ...

C Set was delayed due to vandalism at Circular Quay for 5 minutes around 5pm. Got to Wynyard and platforms 5 & 6 were pretty much full. Hadn't started using the gates at the top of the stairs just yet, but 5 more minutes would make it happen. You'd think those who complain the most about the tra...

A few Oscar trains on the City Circle this weekend. JkvcJvZHhDY These were Central Coast services diverted around the City Circle via Museum due to trackwork at Sydney Terminal. They have previously run to North Sydney during these possessions, not sure why the change to City Circle. Possibly to al...

Remember part of this new standard Waratah design is to make the network less complicated. If the fleet consisted of only Waratah trains, including the new Intercity, then everything would just be easier than it is now. Drivers and guards wouldn't need to learn all these different trains, because th...

I have been a regular commuter, mainly on BMT trains, and casual traveller on other lines for over 15 years. I cannot recall ever being on a train that has completely failed in service during this time. Sure there have been delays, diversions and transpositions caused by other problems which are of...

Although I can agree the service wasn't as organised as it should've been, I can say that staff and customers did a fantastic job. Despite the madness and hot weather (most buses didn't have aircon) everyone was very forgiving and patient. Transdev had their unused older buses from Mt Kuring-gai on,...
