Part of Victoria Rd was originally earmarked to be the F3 corridor to a giant interchange in Ultimo. The Gladesville bridge and the Interchange in Hunters Hill was originally part of that and remains the only section built. It would likely have procluded the need for this underground interchange and...

More mention of the two bus crash in Campsie on Seven News this afternoon. Looks like a medical episode with the driver of TSA mo1531 was behind it. They showed CCTV footage of mo1531 mounting the kerb as it took a corner beforehand.
The front of the Volvo B12BLE took quite a smack!

Sure as the sun, there will be teething issues.
I wonder if they'll heed the lessons of L2/3?
Can't wait to see the - - - - show and have a laugh.

Cross media ownership rules relaxed has led to this. One shining light on the Sydney front is Mike Jefferies return midnight to dawn on 2GB. He's one of the more incisive and clever talk show hosts. I remember first listening to him on 2UE in 1987 when I couldn't sleep. He sounds exactly the same an...

I found this on my travels in Your tube land.
A jolly bunch at Egged. Can you imagine this in an Australian bus operation?

Apparently there was a red Sydney Explorer O305 Trux model that just sold on Ebay for around $60, lucky score to whoever picked up that as I've previously seen that model going for $150 tops. And the gold one too! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/126378198366?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20...

Luv the model of 2706. I hope it wasn't an average unit but still, looks unreal. Everyone I show is impressed by it.
Ones I liked were 2695, 2696, 2698, 2708, 2709 (high speed diff), 2711, 2712, 2714, 2719, 2725 and 2727.

I was in a V set the other day helping my mother who struggles to walk these days and I've got to say they are not disabled or cripple friendly. They are looking out of date as a result. Rediculous is taken half a decade to take a passenger of the upcoming NIF sets. Regardless of the lack of Wheelc...

This guy helps explain how political correctness culture is like communism.

They should be driving trucks if they want to abuse equipment.
Back to topic, do electronic buses typically have cruise control? Do any have adaptive cruise?

This cost over a billion and its actually made it worse for the immediate vicinity.
Knowing NSW, the inquiry will come up with recommendations on how to prevent it in future, which won't be followed.

It doesn't help when you've got drivers that really shouldn't be employed, driving the equipment hard.
We need to bring the system in the UK where driving input is all monitored.

It's going to be phenomenal when it opens and the professional complainers will completely forget the pain when the Sydneyham to Bankstown section opens to traffic.

I wonder if we'll see electric replacements for the VSTMs that seat about 18, only for them to be placed on trunk routes in the peak? Never say never for such a clownshow to happen.

If the sight of overhead is the main deterrent to proven trolley buses, could they not use in ground power like George St uses for trams?
Hybrid buses that use that to charge along the way?

...look at the obsession with one-size-fits-all and the reluctance to invest in higher capacity artics. Sydney has plenty of artics, perhaps too many given the keenness of the operators of the former State Transit regions to move them on. Sounds to me more like a reluctance to use them at all but w...

I still think the main issue is that the tunnel system has pulled traffic that used to enter the city from the south and shifted them to the Anzac Bridge, and that's now over capacity. Time to recommission the Glebe Island Bridge for Victoria Rd. In a way this is successful in giving the cosseted i...

Much as some like to look back fondly at the trolley bus era, a return isn't on anybody's radar in this country. Think why they look back fondly. Not for romantic notions. Because they worked damned well. If you're going to insist on dismissing it because of Australians penchant for mediocre to bad...

Zero emission technology. Will they ensure all the recharging power comes from hydro and wind farms?
There's now talk of nuclear power. More smoke and mirrors from people who lie to the populace for a living.

Cool.

They surely haven't managed to out-do Perth's abominable work with signage, where you're not told which lane to be in, or even which lanes are the exit lanes until it's basically too late. Street signs, or lack thereof, are also a common bugbear of mine, and this seems to be a drama in every city a...

Stick with ICE longer then until a proper alternative arrives.

As we know, hydrogen's not at all explosive or anything. Haha - I would assume they have made enough technology inroads into combating that factor by now since there's been talk of it's serious viability for a while now. Battery electric is proving to be so troublesome that even green zealots like ...
