My backstory for anyone interested - when I started supporting more density so more inner city neighbourhoods would be buzzy and interesting like Kings Cross - a detached house in middle Sydney was $350k.

Im an urbanist (aka yimby) but it has to be part of a coordinated approach of supply AND demand measures to result in housing affordability. I became interested in urbanism because I wanted lively neighbourhoods, not because I thought density alone would sufficiently reduce cost

If a bus route is running 14 minutes late in non peak traffic at 2pm, your transport department should probably do something about that... #OxfordSt #NotTheOneInLondon

Usual 15 minute weekend frequency today on T1 Western Line when everyone from T2/5 has to board these trains as well due to trackwork... It struggles when there isn't trackwork on as it is ffs. One line pulling the weight of what is three seperate lines on a weekday
Western Line needs a 7 minute frequency on weekends or Harris Park to Lidcombe removed from the stopping pattern, excl Granville for transfers. Way too overcrowded and been this way for years. T2/3 trains are dead by comparison.

On the way back now... 23 mins to crawl from Ashfield to Central not stopping at any stations. Normally it's about 5 mins on the express tracks. Fkn painful.

"Change at Parramatta for Blue Mountains services" No. There's trackwork. Guards have one job ffs. Poor form.

They should think about doing like, a timetable change, so that all T4 trains stop at Sydenham given its now a major interchange, to eliminate crazy waits and double changes for non CBD hops.....

I found discussion of this transfer to be totally omitted from the new timetable discourse tbh...

I remember when these houses were ~$300k as late as 2012.....
Exciting future potential costs vendor $170k on ticket price in 15 months. Jul 2025: $1.1m → Oct 2026: $930k Over $200k all-in after stamp duty and agent fees.

"The train to... Bakikstan" 😬😬😬😬 these announcements should have been replaced the first month of North West opening 7 years ago, extreme cringe.
I think they forgot which TTS voice they used for the announcements......

Sydney Trains avoids catastrophes like this by being overly cautious at minor signal failures, I now understand 🙏🕯️ major delays are better than the alternative. Very sad.
Ce qui s’est passé en Espagne est catastrophique. C’est incompréhensible. D’autant qu’il y a déjà eu des précédents ☹️

Charming commentary on working class regional Australians from Greens voters on a completely incorrect post from a Greens MP about One Nation wanting to cut backpacker numbers (they don't). Just normal progressive things. They love punching down.

Metro delays toward Sydenham, T8 customers that complained about the new timetable should be refused entry to city circle stations 🤗

Public spaces and transport set their air-conditioning cater for young gym going males that walk/run everywhere and hormonal women rather than 80 year olds who are freezing all the time and should just wear a jumper challenge

People standing in front of the bus doors (and not getting off next stop) when there are seats available is very fucking annoying too
