Midfielder Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Decent in something so short, summary of the V-Sets ... made in 2019 it gets it wrong, when the new inner city D sets will start running... as the argument between State Rail & the Union continues over whether the guard or driver should shut the doors just prior to departure.... this following delays on train delivery...

wendybr Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 OK...It's not about the Sydney train network, but it IS about a train!

On that theme, two of those locomotives were once painted in striking indigenous liveries a few decades ago for hauling The Indian Pacific and The Ghan wendybr 1 Link to comment

Midfielder Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Wen Twill take a tad longer as gotta go via Strathfield .. but next match you should travel to Gosford by train... sit on the right hand side looking towards Gosford it get a slightly better view... If time permits get off at Woy Woy and catch the ferry across to Davistown and go for lunch at the RSL .... catch ferry back to Woy Woy an on to Gosford... As an aside Davistown has two incredible restaurants in the Ferryman & the Feather & Dart .... Car tis a lot quicker but as a one off .... wendybr 1 Link to comment

I've done the trip up to Gosford in recent years...not for the football tho. And as a kid travelling further North, I've taken that route on the train, and beyond, many times. It's a very scenic trip! Link to comment

I don't recall kicking back for a coffee in St Marks square looking towards the Grand Canal and the Doge's palace and saying to the wife 'you know what love, this is just like sat having chips at Woy Woy, the way the motor oil slick on the water casts the colours of the rainbow'....
