Guard said it was "mechanical failure" but train went from track speed into emergency braking, no braking before the station was even attempted by the driver.

Busways have got an employee at Mt Druitt interchange handing out cold bottles of water to drivers, i wonder if other companies are doing the same?

Currently the apps are showing Western Line trains as being over 200 minutes late.
Has something happened or is this a data issue?

Is this some kind of platform reinforcement?

Got a report from somebody travelling on the IWLR bustitution that Transdev was running single door buses that were having a lot of problem dealing with the crowds. Normal tram patronage was also well down. It's well time for TfNSW to not approve any more single door buses in the Sydney, Newcastle ...

I obersved this afternoon a Volgren Optimus white demo unit with Busways stickers on the bus, fleet number 7004 on car plates.

2 buses were on fire at the perimeter of Sydney Airport, looked like they were volgrens from 7news footage.

Were they carbridge vehicles? Blue emu carpark was mentioned as being the location.

Major delays on cumberland, south and bankstown lines due to car on tracks at cabramatta.

Cumberland line is doing Fairfield to Granville service only at the moment.

Busways drivers are also usually reluctant to open the back door unless it's at the final stop.

Head office just has the excuse of it being "drivers discretion".

This isn't good policy when you have 4 prams and a bus full of standees

To add to the above, there seems to beva single Cumberland line service running as 710X.

Noticed on nextthere app that there is a service running between Strathfield and Parramatta as run number 731. Is this an extra shift for the Rosehill Racecourse patronage or something else? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161111/b5463fe8b711844381c860bdbffa6285.png Sent from my iPhone using Tapat...

Instead of programming "not in service" or "special" on the desto boards, why do drivers programme the destination on non revenue services?

Seems this would be the first Electric Double Deck train for Hyundai Rotem as the 3 types of DD trains they built were for the american companies that are diesel hauled.

They have only built single deck electrics.
