If anything they should be longer! I feel like I would have gotten much more value out of a four year degree

A public transport service update page. The service tracker is on the train tab, and it shows every service visible is experiencing major delays or other issues

Speaking as a computer scientist: people need to stop giving us this much power! Just because someone knows about algorithms and how the internet works doesn't mean they can solve all of humanity's problems

What's the point of double-heading a train this short? Is it purely just for turnaround times?

This is just one little tourist/heritage line, and even then it sometimes needs to operate off of grid power or diesel if the conditions aren't right. There's plenty of electric trains in Australia, they're just powered by overhead lines en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_B...

Long-distance passenger rail business case (Department of Transport and Main Roads) We are preparing a business case to replace the rollingstock on the long distance passenger rail fleet that services western regional Queensland.

Oh boy do I have a business case for you www.tmr.qld.gov.au/projects/lon...

alignment parallel to the south side of Dalrymple Rd then down into Thuringowa and you've got an hourly train to two nearby regional centres and a half-hourly service along the main corridor of the town. Sure, the BCR won't be great but neither is the BCR of road projects and we still build those!

Honestly I think a relatively basic regional rail service for the area is viable. Build a few low-cost stations in Townsville and townships along the route and run a little DMU every hour from Townsville to either Bowen, Charters Towers, or both. If you have extra cash build a new...

I think the real loss here is the local services rather than the station, but compared to a lot of the city centre station closures around that time (cough cough Gympie) Townsville was a pretty reasonable decision

My understanding is that Adelaide gets quite hot and sunny. Why do even the new stations have like a bus stop worth of shade. What the FUCK is going on down there is everyone who plans this network drunk

North Adelaide station only open part of the day?? Parklands terminal entirely disconnected from the network?? Grange line runs though what looks line a major intersection and a golf course?? That level crossing with an overpass bridge?? The Port Dock spur????

I love up to 60 minute delays on the Redcliffe Peninsula line. Delays on the Redcliffe Peninsula line make me stronger and more resilient. I can never be late to work due to delays on the Redcliffe Peninsula line. Being parked at Northgate for half an hour provides valuable meditation time. The Redc
