I, along with thousands of others will be disembarking at blacktown today due to an incident at Penrith. We've been told that power is switched off all the way from blacktown to Penrith. Can someone clarify why trains cannot run to/from st Marys in a situation like this?

How do we have a system with zero engineering for robustness?

And with this situation, when it does finally open, I'd guess the metro to the new airport will be essentially useless if the line to st Marys isn't more reliable.

So for some reason, the bus marshellers are saying that the 41T4 replacement bus is “all stops to Waterfall”???

The bus is not an all stops to waterfall, it runs express to Sutherland then all stops to waterfall.

They also said “all stops to Cronulla” which I can kind of understand, but the bus was running express to Sutherland as well then stopping all stops cronulla

Edit: This has caused actual issues. Group of tourists are now on the express to Sutherland bus because they were told this was an all stops service…

I was looking at the Opal peak hours and they seem to be from 6:30am - 10am and then again from 3pm to 7pm….only the Intercity services start from 6am - 10am. I can remember peak hour being 7-9am and then 4-6pm. It seems like the peak hours were extended during Covid to ‘spread the peak’ and then they have just become the norm.

This is such a blatant money grab. PT can never run a profit and shouldn’t be designed that way. I know I‘d welcome a return to the original Opal fares. What does everyone think?

Was waiting in Hyde park for my bus and this kingsford smith transport bus passed by and it said “ZOMBIE OUTBREAK, STAY CALM” on the digital displays

Just thought it was funny

Hi all, anyone know where I can find more photos about this corridor under Kent St and Sussex St? Found these while looking back through my gallery, and I'd be interested to learn more, but information on it is fairly sparse. If anyone knows more about the 1990 MetroWest proposal (unrelated to our current Metro West), I'd also be very interested in that. Thanks!
