It's your fault the train's late.

General Update

Nothing much as of recently.

---------------------------------------

I did take a trip to Perth and Adelaide. Riding on one of Australia's great rail journeys the Indian Pacific, and the Overland from Melbourne.


Must praise Perth for a "FTZ" or Free Transit Zone. A dedicated CBD area which allow completely free travel. Adelaide also assures tourists and inhabitants with their free ride with two bus routes circling the city.

Melbournes free City Circle tram, and Free Tourist Shuttle bus - perhaps challenged by Perths FTZ zone. But could a similar system cope here with the high demands and mass movements with the amount of passengers?

---------------------------------------

And BATBYGOBSTOPL returns to screens and radios, remember:

Buying A Ticket Before You Get On Board Saves Time Or Problems Later

How true the statement is.

AND

www.dontholdothersback.com - maintains it's stance on TV - a very wise advert (if people bother to look at it).

So much truth to it - yet it seems rather funny as an idea Mr Whinger's brood of supporters.

The idea that standing in doorways doesn't effect other passengers, having the doors opened just to accomodate your running to the train - no effect on the timetable, or that passengers seem to hang around entrances to stations, definately not a sign of laziness (250 metres to spread out - but why bother, all this perfectly good space 20 metres in front of me where others are crowding.)

Oh how the latter drips with my sarcasm.
