Train Discussion Megathread - Etiquette / Strikes / Gripes

[Memberberries]

You go to countries like Japan... there is not a single piece of litter in the streets. It's in their culture to be clean.

Japan and Korea are clean places.
Which ethnic group from the east is it in particular that is making a mess and stinking out the south side of bankstown?

Its those village idiots from Vietnam isn't it?

I descend from village idiots in Europe but how come they never made a mess or stank public places out?

Is it the Vietnamese? I never knew they had a high concentration in Bankstown lol.

Go have a look at the bullshit pandering monument next to Gong cha across from the chemist warehouse!

I miss the old Bankstown plaza from 30 years ago.

They used to have fish ponds and you could pay for 20 cents worth of pellets to feed the fish!

It killed my grandmother to give me 20c but she did just to make me happy.

Not as much as Asians on the train. If they don't bring their stinking food they bring their stinking breath.

They brought in quiet carriages why not vile smell carriages, you should have to travel in these carriages if you have vile smelly food or need to fart or have really bad breath and of course bad b.o.

I know how you feel mate. The good old Nostalgia days. I miss Campsie the way it was in the late 80s/early 90s. Timezone arcade, Maccas, Campsie Centre full of good shops. I remember during the school holidays my grandmother would let me choose either Maccas lunch or a toy lol.

Nothing but memories now.

I sat next to a kid eating a boiled egg the other day, what's even worse is he was putting Soy on it before he took each bite.

Soy on a boiled egg? I mean boiled eggs are bad enough as it is, why make it ever worse? Yuck man... lol.

 

[MattyB]

Yeah man it was a bit early to be smelling that combo.

I'm not sure there really ever is an ideal time to smell it lol.

Good luck with the new driverless Metro trains with trusting computers to do the rail safety.

They are manned by staff. But the staff don't do any driving, they are just an override incase of failure.

What happens if someone jumps in front of one?

The same thing that happens if they jump in front of one today...

Trains don't stop on a dime, but basically you can't.

Platform is blocked by access doors / barriers that are about 2-3m tall.

Train pulls up, train doors open, platform doors open. People get in, train doors shut, platform doors shut, train moves off.

Day 5: And the metro has another problem. Power failure.

Nice to know that $8.3 billion of tax-payers money has been spent on something that's been constantly failing.

It’s early days. Can’t be perfect upon launch just like every other product

Yeah but 2 fails twice in the first 6 days is a concern. Considering we already have a train system established in Sydney, it shouldn't be that hard to feed off it.

Rail safety should not be left to computers, more mistakes from the Commie.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Q: How many teething problems did the red rattlers, and the Tangaras, and the other trains have?
Answer: A shitload more than the Metro.

Q: How many testing hours and kms has the Metro had and worked fine for?
Answer: A shitload. I've seen the trains operating for the past few months.

But no... lets focus on the 1-5% of the time the system has a problem. I mean it's not like the regular rail system doesn't have regular failures and breakdowns right?

I have heard it was a circuit breaker that tripped at one of the stations, knocking out the wifi to that station, and dropping the train back into manual override. That's how they are designed to work. When they lose connection with the control room, the train automatically stops.

Hmmm I better ring up and tell the Chinese and Japanese and many other countries who have been operating driverless trains for decades now.
