"What's actually happening at Sunshine?" seems to be quite an important question at the moment Here's my take from what we know so far. This diagram communicates how the $4 billion upgrade unlocks western suburbs electrification and more country services Shown at Full Buildout

The list of tallest buildings in Adelaide is really funny because there's 4 of them all built in the last half decade and they are all exactly 1 metre taller than the other

I think this is the first time I've lived walking distance from a grocery store and I'm out of my mind about it. I'll walk there several times a day. Oh did I forget to grab something? No big deal I'll simply Walk To The Store

New Conduent readers popping up around the network. Glenroy, Footscray, Moreland, Upfield. Note they are just a simple swap out of the reader module on both the older and newer gate styles.

Great to be back on the interstate mainline again. Today I engaged in a minor chase of The Ghan between Two Wells and Mallala, where recent ARTC upgrades have resulted in 60km/h speed restrictions - easy to beat in a car

The new Myki readers excitingly feature QR scanners above the screen that'll let you scan V/line tickets and other short term ticket types This is already in use in Adelaide and allows new ticket products like group tickets. Great for flexible travel and tourists

A chance yesterday to say goodbye to Ryan's route bus service From mid this year, these routes will be ceded to CDC Western Melbourne. The introduction of new bus contracts with a focus on zero emission vehicles makes it hard for small firms like this to adapt to the changes

Disappointed to see this level of inaccuracy from @danielbowen.au . The Warrnambool line has had 5 weekday services for a number of years, and only 3 on weekends The new April timetable will simply provide the same level of service on weekdays and weekends

V/line has been withdrawing N sets for a number of years now, and one large step towards their complete withdrawal will be in April The April 13 timetable change will see the last ever N sets in Western Victoria, as VLocity trains replace these 40-year-old icons. Picture from Little River today ⬇️

Today marks 11 years since electric trains first publicly ran on the Adelaide suburban network, the last Australian capital to add electric rail service Today Adelaide has over 80km of electrified railway on the busiest suburban lines

Back in November I alighted the overnight XPT at Goulburn at 4:40am, on the long journey from Melbourne to Canberra Despite my lack of sleep and the freezing cold, I was determined to photograph all I could before the 6:30am coach. Here's some of the action I saw in the early morning darkness

There are zero modern maps of the South Australian regional bus network, that is, until now SA has an incredibly complex set of country bus services, so I have poured far too many hours into this map Please enjoy my magnum opus, here is every single regional route in 2025

A new year means new heritage trains to chase! Here is our chase, with plenty of photos from the trip! On January 26, Steamrail Victoria ran a heritage special between Rochester and Melbourne, a distance of over 200km, with heritage streamliner S313 on the return leg (1/17) 🧵

A look around Central Station in Sydney, which has undergone some serious modernisation in recent years. Its absolutely stunning to put it simply. A really good place to start and end an intercity journey. Well done Sydney.

Question I keep thinking about, but haven't been able to find the answer to: What is the smallest community in Australia with a major supermarket? Either a Woolworths or Coles? The best answer so far is the Woolworths in Kerang, Victoria, a town of 3,960 people

This photo could almost make you believe it was taken on some kind of country rail line, with our little railcar here venturing far from Adelaide. Unfortunately, it's just the Grange line

GUNZEL CHRISTMAS Yesterday Aurizon very kindly rostered two classic "streamliner" locomotives on the Adelaide - Port Pirie freight train. These classic engines, built between 1970-1972, are the last of there kind ever made Oh how jealous the US foamers would be 😆

You know, nobody ever stands looking up at under construction concrete infrastructure with both hands on their hips saying "that son, that there is progress" anymore and I think that's a real shame

Excellent example of where the priority for electrification lies. Fast and long intermodal corridors that demand a premium price. Makes the cost of OLE much easier to recover with track access charges (or internal track km equivalent)

Running the national rail network is hard work Every year ARTC completes track maintenance shutdowns, and the ballast train is one component of these massive works Here interstate arrivals C509 and BRM001 bring the ballast into Melbourne on Monday, before heading back to NSW

sometimes I wonder if our addiction to 2FA has gone too far. Do I really need to enter a verification code to log into my fucking electricity account? Every time I log into outlook it wants a verification code now. You gotta "approve sign in" to fucking cook toast in your own damn toaster
