Michael J. GrattonThe XPT only arrived 5 minutes after it was supposed to depart this morning so I guess its no surprise we're stopped just past Picton when we're supposed to be at Central.
dexitroboperHere’s some more Mariyung interior pics

New Mariyung D-set trains start running today. This is the second set in service so it’s much less crowded than the first #trains #Mariyung #nswtrainlink
Bob DendryAm I really on a train if it isn't running late? Today's delay - a level crossing acting a bit shit.
TonyToday I commence my BNE-MELB #nswtrainlink train journey home. I’ve had an interesting long weekend exploring Brisbane using Beam e-scooter service. Have to admit I was a bit hesitant but took the plunge and so glad I did. Actually had a ball and found the service super flexible and convenient. I used the daily pass system which gives 90 min of travel in the 24 hr period for $14. I ran over one day and incurred the $0.65/min casual rate; I should have taken another day pass 😕. The purple scooters are “everywhere” around central BNE ( and their orange competitors) so I never had to search for one. All worked well and are quite zippy with a max 25kph limit. In geolocked areas speed is auto limited further (10kph in heavy pedestrian precincts) which I actually liked. Occasionally speed was restricted in “inappropriate” areas, but 95% spot on. In “no ride” zones the scooter turns off. I came away feeling what a great system! Highlight was scooting out to a Happy Valley wedding event in my tuxedo 🤣 #activetransport #cycling #scooter #ebike #eScooter #brisbane #publictranspot

Jake CoppingerBicycleNSW has started a petition for allowing roll-on (unboxed) bikes on regional trains: https://www.change.org/p/roll-on-bikes-on-regional-trains-is-years-overdue
This is no ordinary petition; there is a PDF of briefing notes explaining why the changes are minimal and feasible: https://centralwestcycletrail.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Briefing-Note-%E2%80%93-Bicycles-on-NSW-Regional-Trains_v-13Mar23.pdf
If you'd like to cycle from Sydney to the regions (or the other direction) have a look!

The T2 Commuter 🎢Yesterday I was fortunate enough to see the "train" pass through Mudgee.
Fair Work Commission awards NSW rail workers 1 per cent pay increase above wage cap
GCWhy do they do this. The advantage of travelling by train is the view but every second set of seats on this NSW XPT is between windows providing a minimal view. The views from the seats with windows are fabulous. Bad bad bad design
