Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[Suitman]

Lol.
You also seem to never be able to say anything good about a system that has put your favoured union-ised rail system to shame and tbh, embarrassed it with performance and reliability.
Oh well.

 

[the phantom menace]

Oh dear. No further discussion about the adequacy of the 50cmx50cm standing space? Just harking back to old and unresolved discussions instead... but you do you.

 

[Suitman]

I've already discussed that.
If you don't agree, so be it.
There were 30 trains that were at capacity in the past month.
It's hardly a problem.
Please provide any links to the fact capacity was a problem at the 50 x 50 cm allowance.
And please let me know what your party is proposing for any future metro?
That's right, there's nothing.
Absolutely beholden to your union.

Bring back the red rattlers.

Funnily enough, the red rattlers were faster than today's Sydney Trains.

My post was my opinion that 50cmx50cm isn't very comfy, in the calculations for capacity. I don't need a link for that - there were several photos in the article you posted, to which my comment related.

But here's a link that indicates humans need 64.77cm x 64.77cm of standing space (I've even done the conversion for you, from 25.5 inches.)

Huh? Nothing to do with the current conversation... perhaps you are emotionally triggered by the past in some way? But you do you - and I don't expect you'll reply rationally to the above standing space calculation (and link), or will just say something random about a union again to avoid it.

 

[Suitman]

Continue to ignore the fact that Sydney metro is killing it and your complaints about space ratios has not been an issue.
If it is, then don't ever use it.

 

[the phantom menace]

So despite providing you a link, you still can't admit that a 50cm x 50cm calculation for capacity isn't comfy... Nothing to do with anything else related to the Metro, just that one aspect you're unwilling to hear a different opinion on.

You do you Suity, and unless the Metro is built between two places that I want or need to go, then yes I may not end up using it. Doesn't mean I'm hoping for its downfall, or whatever other catastrophising you wish to ascribe to anyone who doesn't agree with you.

ironic, isn't it ?

Extraordinary.

I'm going to need a guide next time I visit the Golden West.

Just hop on the light rail.

Yep.
Absolutely no way that the new Sydney Fish Market will become a tourist attraction as some clown suggested here recently.
Completely no chance of that happening.
Anyhow, another amazing piece of infrastructure that the previous govt instigated regardless of ignorant views.

In the meantime.....Enjoy.

Interesting (with perhaps one alternate?) perspectives on Parramatta:

It was once Sydney’s neglected outpost. Then came the developers

It’s hard to overstate just how much Parramatta’s CBD has changed in the past decade. But can it continue its progress? The jury is still out.

I'm going there when it's finished, no wuckers about that.

And so will hundreds of thousands of others. Good on you.
I've said it before and will say it again.
It will be a massive tourist attraction.
The current joint is a dump and is still massively popular.
This place will blow it out of the water. No pun intended.

I agree. Just as long as they don’t price the seafood options out of the water. Pun intended.

Just like footballers, the prices will be what people are prepared to pay.
The current fish markets aren't cheap already.

 

[the phantom menace]

I'll probably give it a skip on that basis alone, during the cost of living crisis. I don't think I'll be the only one if it's an expensive outing... perhaps lots of once only domestic visitors.

 

[forward pass]

Extraordinary.

Fantastic and way overdue project this one. But the external design of this building is so uninspiring. It's just a big square shed. I am sure the interior and functionality will be out of this world but the exterior is so ho-hum.
