Re: Private Operators July 2015
Anyone has any idea what this bus is? I couldn't seem to find it in fleetlists, and the bus has no accreditation as well. Spotted outside UTS library at the bus parking along Darling Drive. 16/7/15 around 5pm (Picture snipped to save precious bandwidth) Might be the rebodied Leyland ERT1/1 Worldmas...

Re: Rare and interesting car sightings
I do agree with Chuboy - the industry has died because it failed to adapt, and plus Fords and Holdens chew too much petrol compared to the similar sized Mondeos, Octavias and Jettas everyone is buying now. Not to mention that GM nor Ford have the time or money anymore to deal with its Australian ope...

Re: Use of Back Door on Buses
It should be the responsibility of passengers to not make contact with closing doors, punishable by a fine. Just like football players aren't allowed to make contact with a referee. You can't blame the referee. You have a point there, especially considering that it's an $400 fine for forcing the do...

Re: Rare and interesting car sightings
BAE Systems actually offered a custom built Caprice (with all the extra safety stuff the PM needs) several months back but Abbott decided to just buy an off-the-shelf special Beemer instead. Shows how stuffed up our motor industry is without government help. The 3 Series (or 5 Series, I can't rememb...

Except that most teenagers can travel around by themselves, but won't have credit cards, which is not going to be the case for parkers at the airport.

It would really help if they had a "next train" by individual station listing. like they do for the ferries at CQ, They had that system at one stage, going back about 15 years, on the concourse of Hurstville, Sutherland, Parramatta and Blacktown, and the Platform indicators would scroll t...

Reality shows are buggering me again. Why can't Seven, Nine and Ten just start a new channel dedicated to that stuff, with each of the three stations holding a 33 percent stake in it?

Re: Tasmanian Steam
I was referring to when the TGR/AN Tasrail stopped running normal passenger services on the main network. I still don't understand why they couldn't have kept most of the ex-TGR Hobart suburban passenger network-could have come in handy with any future urban sprawls across the island state. That and...

Sorry for the stupid question, but does Tasmania actually have any railways? It's just that in the photo section you are all like, "whoa,nice photo of that train, you don't see them very often". Tassie does have a few railway lines, but most of the ones still in commercial service are fre...

Re: Anyone have surplus android phone to donate?
That's the main issue with that, there is so limited choice for covers on the more obscure or unpopular models. I've lost one phone to the cracking of the screen just because no-one made covers for my old Huawei Ascend G510. At least since now I am in possession of a Galaxy S5, finding stuff for it ...

I always thought the front of the Worldmasters had a resemblance to Sydney's Leopards. They sure sounded the same! I wonder why Adelaide's MTT withdrew these robust buses so early? They were only in their teens and would have been considered relatively modern machines in 1973 and served Adelaide we...
