Except in Canberra the public servants aren’t fascists

Geez louise

Hopefully they build out to Midvale and add a couple of stations to the Ellenbrook line while they invest in some light rail in the inner city, before going for the full southern loop line once the freight terminal moves to Kwinana

Most systems consider trips to be linked, so even if you have to tap off and on again to transfer it’s still the same single journey

Even worse, the creator said this double-counts transfers

I believe there is still freight from a sugar mill up there, but it is a shadow of its former self for sure

Only speaking from personal experience, but the cattle wagons I’ve come across have been pretty pungent loaded or unloaded

Both goods and passengers, I believe the Dirranbandi Mail was one of if not the last mixed train in the country

The new entrance should help out a lot

This says an orbital route from north Vancouver to UBC along boundary road and 41st would be a no-brainer (with infill stations on the existing lines)

In reality it just means sparking Wyndham Vale, but that sounds boring and not ‘loopy’ enough so they just lump it in with the very different eastern and northern portions

The retained V Set for heritage operation has has this livery applied to it

Southern suburbs aren’t going to be representative of national swing

Brazilian far-right paramilitaries licking their lips rn

Mixed traffic vs dedicated ROW?

It always interests me how the welcoming atmosphere of Martini’s contrasts with the faceless boozers in Pottersville, the progressive spectre of prohibition was still very fresh in the memory in 46

It’s a fundamentally New Deal movie, in that it is humanistic and anti-monopoly in the robber baron sense, but it still contains plenty of traditional social conservatism

Unfortunately this isn’t true, One Nation got a higher two-party preferred in Hunter than the Nats did.

50%, depends on if the conservatives cancel it because it’s woke or whatever

Green line extension to Dorval when?

Seems eminently winnable for either side in 2028, though the first prefs for both the major parties are quite low

As far as I can tell, it’s more about the environmental approvals than actual construction. It’s still a long way from happening

I could definitely see light rail being their next pivot, but I think they realise the inner suburbs will be their base at the next election and don’t want to activate the nimbys

East Wanneroo as a branch off the Ellenbrook line is pretty rubbish tbh, it should be tunnelled from the city to Mirrabooka then run elevated

Where the party room votes on who they want to lead them, especially when there is contention around the current leader. The Victorian Libs are experts at the craft

Needs to be more development between the city and Bayswater, can’t let those frequent trains go to waste

That’s basically the Labor strategy right now and it’s given us 94 seats, you may lose one or two seats on your flank but you gain many more in the centre

Clive would be licking his lips

Hopefully Miles pulls it off in 2028, this government is atrocious

Elevating the line would probably get the nimbys riled up but would by far be the best option
