It suggests in some places, in the English language, nice and clearly, that there is an official contingency plan in place which is disclosed in an transparent way and published publicly in a manner that is detailed, in order and precise. I was trying to shed some light on whether Transport NSW had...

As the federal government misjudged the public with the yes vote we should have a referendum on if we want to spend heaps on a nuclear submarine or invest that money on connecting Sydney to Melbourne via Canberra and Albury The federal government doesn't need to change the constitution in order to ...

I’ve heard from family friends that many Mount Gambier residents simply drive to Warrnambool and catch a V Line train to Melbourne, instead of a coach to Adelaide. Cheaper, similar time, and a bigger city at the end. Which suggests any investment in regional links would be greatly welcomed by resid...

If we had the Melbourne train contract in Sydney, Sydney Trains would be giving its passengers fare refunds every second week. It's difficult to directly compare the on-time performance for the two networks because the statistics provided for the Melbourne suburban network are based on all services...

Cars 3 and 4 on run 48-C the 6:37 city via Sydenham service from Campbelltown are locked car 3 is trailer car T4215 saw it at Leumeah 48-C is rostered as a K set It was due to a power issue according to the guard. I was sitting in car 3 before it was locked off, and the air conditioning was turned ...

I agree that it's not immediately obvious in either of the instances referred to above, but commonly a distinction is made between Western Sydney, the area comprising the WSROC group of LGAs, or Greater Western Sydney, that includes the MACROC group of councils as well. With the continuing spread o...

The doors closing DVA aren’t active on the 6:37 city via Sydenham service run 48-C which is a K set roster being done by K71/K74 this morning is it possible for a train crew to deactivate that DVAs I was on that service too on Monday. You should have been in the 3rd carriage where the air condition...

It's a pity that rail buses are only operating on Saturdays during the day, as the punctuality of the service is absolutely shot at the moment due to the number of speed restrictions on the track. Yesterday I travelled on an AM peak train which was 17 minutes late by the time it reached Macarthur, p...

PBC Goulburn's 7517 MO (Scania K280IB/Higer A30) was operating the Saturday morning town service today, which I had not seen for quite a while.

Routes 155, 156 and 182 appear to only be operating a handful of trips today according to Tripview and Anytrip, although the PDF timetables suggest these routes should be operating at 30-60 minute headways all day on a Sunday, which they were still doing a month ago. The last inbound 156 from McCarr...

The final hour of trips on most routes seem to have been deleted on weekdays, which is quite disappointing, albeit buses still run late on Saturday nights, but not Friday nights. Light rail continues to operate until 1:00am on Friday and Saturday nights, meaning the last service to Gungahlin is more...

This country is (apparently) a democracy, and the view of the vast majority of the population is that they don't want to keep unpleasant regulations such as mask mandates indefinitely.

Unless there is some new super-variant that also triggers a lockdown, the mandate isn't coming back.

Route 697F in Melbourne is a good contender for an outer urban service, which provides a once weekly direct service on Thursdays only from Belgrave Station to Westfield Fountain Gate, taking 25 minutes. It actually would be quite a useful service if it ran more often, as the fastest alternative rout...

I can't take that survey seriously for as long as they list QR above both the Sydney & Melbourne networks for "Timetable/scheduling". Unless people actually prefer waiting 30 minutes between services.

The full weekday timetable on the Southern Highlands line has resumed operating from today, for the first time in 5.5 months. This means there are no longer any two hour gaps between some services (e.g. between 12pm and 2pm from Moss Vale) when normally an hourly service would be operating. Now if o...

I find it bewildering that on the Endeavour trains people will still attempt to exit from the door that faces the guards / drivers section despite a big paper sign being plastered on both doors saying passengers are required to exit from the Middle doors only. It's only a sign, and there's nothing ...

Opal cards with $200 credit to be provided to refugees from Ukrainian settling in Sydney, but why could they not depict at least one person wearing a mask. I don't know about the light rail, but people wearing face masks are usually a minority amongst train passengers on my line. What's wrong with ...

Last night the evening train to Goulburn was displayed in both Tripview and Anytrip as departing 17 minutes later than the usual schedule at every station between Glenfield and Goulburn, which usually occurs when it's being diverted via either Regents Park or Granville. I was lucky that I checked th...

Jeepers. A complete overreaction. Other cities, such as Darwin, have not had their front seats taped off since mid last year. Nor have they had any cashless nonsense either - by nonsense I mean it contrary to practically all the health advice on the planet that says COVID is AIRBORNE, not generally...

There hasn't been any trains on the Richmond line for a couple of hours now, due to a train fault at Merrylands. Previously when this kind of disruption has occurred, a shuttle train service has operated between Blacktown and Richmond. I presume the current industrial action makes this kind of alter...

provided they’ve had all been subjected to regular servicing they’ll last for ages like with anything really They tend to replace buses much earlier in Perth compared to other cities in Australia, if anything. Perfect example would be the Renault PR100.2 fleet, of which the final Transperth units w...

TLDR - Summed up, I pointed out those reliant on the train to get to Newcastle may be their only means of Transport and that yesterdays events left commuters without a way to get to Newcastle and that I believe it is important to fix the lack of alternative transport options so if one system fails,...

It was just announced on Sky News in an interview with minister for Government Services Damien Tudehope, that trains would run tomorrow but only a limited service and with some replacement buses operating. There is no timetable released yet, but the latest service advisory implies it will be someth...

Based on the reports currently in the media, it doesn't look like there is any guarantee at all that trains will be running tomorrow.

Not exactly a great outcome for anybody if this ends up dragging on.

If they're so concerned about face masks, they should try enforcing that rule with school children, who don't practice social distancing at all, spend all day long in one of the highest risk environments, and rarely seem to wear masks on trains or buses in many parts of Sydney. The only times that I...
