Re: Newcastle Bus Interchange opens
^^ Tonyp , have you got a map that shows that? But what about the platform that is needed for the other side as it will be in the way of part of the bus interchange and maybe part of the bus interchange entry/exit? Here is the unused track marked in red. It goes under those fences. http://i.imgur.c...

Re: Light rail gets the green light: stage 1 UNSW to CBD
Well nothing will happen in the immediate future simply because they need the capacity for social distancing. I'm sure we'll hear more about when the changes will occur once they realise that no one will be able to social distance on public transport anyway, especially if you want the city to start ...

Re: Sydney Metro - Tallawong to Bankstown
These changes will be achieved by reallocating services from late nights and early morning services where existing customer levels are very low. This also allows more time for important overnight maintenance works to maintain reliability of the network. On Friday and Saturday evenings there will be...

Re: Light rail gets the green light: stage 1 UNSW to CBD
Never mind the fact that if you look closely the T light gave the tram the all clear and there was a very good chance the tram was just behind the car, just out of camera but whatever reinforces your biases I guess... If we're talking about the moment at Kensington at 3:00 in the video then what I ...

Re: Sydney Metro West announced
Because interchanging at Lidcombe is nuts? Don't forget SOP is now tranforming itself into a business + residential hub. Opal Tower saga aside, the Carter St precinct means Olympic Park Station in the way it operates, and how the West lines are at saturation, will simply be its own Carlingford Line...

Re: Sydney Metro West announced
Why on earth would you spend a fortune making a grand Olympic Park events station when there's already a grand Olympic Park events station?? The existing station in events mode can already move something like 48,000pp/h? The metro will then almost treble that capacity with its 40,000pp/h per directi...

Re: Sydney Metro - Tallawong to Bankstown
Why on earth have they splayed the terminating Metro tracks to align with the existing tracks AT THIS POINT IN TIME? By keeping the Metro tracks close together, much more platform space would be available for pedestrian circulation, where is it surely needed, at the western end of the Metro platfor...

Re: Tickets On Trackwork Buses
Yeah that's exactly what the bus network needs, an army of RPO's tasked with stopping buses for 5 minutes at a time because someone didn't pay a few bucks. Totally worth the collective hours in delays that would create every day.

Whinging here isn't going to bring about change.

Re: New Intercity Fleet Purchases/Observation
More doesn't equate to all. Aside from a slight decrease in stock needed when the Metro opens to Bankstown, Sector 2 will still require a similar sized fleet to today. The language in this project indicates all Tangara maintenance will be done at Mortdale. https://yoursay.transport.nsw.gov.au/mtms-...
