Re: Sydney Metro - Tallawong to Bankstown

There are a few theories as to what might happen with the available paths that will become available on the City Circle, none have been officially confirmed. City Circle will have no new overall paths, a realignment is set to provide services to Liverpool via Regents Park and an uplift in services ...

Re: Rail Observations 2024

He said it wasn't because of trackwork; it was because of testing for the forthcoming service to Sydenham. It's deplorable that the whole line had to be shut down because of testing for a new section. I presume they have to trial full service between Tallawong and Sydenham. Of course, with the test...

Re: Bus Observations 2023

M91 is actually one of the planned future rapid bus routes so do not expect that at all. Transit Systems have also integrated it much better into their R3 operations than the cluster that was U-Go in R10.

Re: Sydney Metro West announced

Burwood have a mix of express, limited stops and all stops services, plenty of trains. Why add already crowded western line services in the peak hour which were removed from such mid-tier locations like Burwood, Rockdale and Granville in the first place. Strathfield is one minute away for any Interc...

It should be made compulsory throughout Sydney at any stop that the driver can pull in completely parallel to the gutter.
Where are they not allowed to do that?

There needs to be a balance, there needs to be value from expenditure otherwise it becomes a taxpayer-crunching job which reduces the money available for other areas of government. Money is a scarce resource.

Re: Rail Observations 2023

That sort of thing is always a juggling act. More service for some passengers is a slower trip for others. And the whole purpose of doing what was done in 2013 was so that shorter trip customers don't take up room on services which travel all the way out to Waterfall/Cronulla, making those customer...

I mean the half dozen routes from region 10 it is now running instead of U-Go. It is only four routes as far as I know plus a number of unknown school routes. On top of that is 920. That is why they are splitting M92. Obviously U-Go couldn’t handle the whole route with Parra being so far away from ...
