That’s horrible if it ends up you’re right
I think the solution is to have two rail staff at every door ( both sides ) of the train in case a door opens. That’ll teach them for attempting to implement driverless trains.

Also here is an interesting Tumbler account called Vanishing Sydney. Mainly of photos of assorted houses and businesses and landmarks of the Inner West.

Has anyone done a domestic pickup from T2 recently? Mum’s flight lands at 7pm tonight and I’m wondering if it’s shitfight and better to pick her up from Central.
Also, probably a dumb question but is there still a right turn from Elizabeth Street (coming from Hyde Park) into Eddy Ave? If this link works it’s this spot, but the streetview is from a decade ago
It is. It’s where alot of Inner West bus routes go.
Perfect, thanks mate. Thought there may have been a change with the light rail.

NP. The light rail runs parallel to the left of that.

I’ve actually found the short term pick up area at the airport really good the last few times. You’ve only got fifteen minutes but it’s free. If you’re happy to camp out in a local Macca’s carpark and your mum can text you when she’s got her stuff should be easy.
Airport isn’t too bad these days. Drunkfly is right though, use the short term pickup areas as they’re way easier to get to.
Thanks guys, sounds like a better option to time it right/idle somewhere
Question.
We all know what a/the ‘bowlo’ is, right?
At the local ‘bowlo’ for a flake a pints, abd my mate messages his mate in Victoria that he’s at ‘the bowlo’ for a flake of pints. .
His mate messages back saying he doesn’t know what a ‘bowlo’ is. We call him, and the bloke is adamant he has no idea what were on about.
I ring my best mate who unfortunately now resides in that cesspit of a sewer that calls itself a part of Australia, and he refuses to admit that he associates with Victorians, so wouldn’t know.
Anyway, point is, surely the ‘bowlo’ is a comment colloquial term from Sydney to Perth, Melbourne to Darwin.

You’d have to check if Mick Molloy uses the word in Crackerjack.
If he does, then that would prove that it known in Victoria.

It’s definitely common in Perth, there’s a great little bowlo and sports club where I live.
Anyone who doesn’t know a bowlo is a joke, so yeah maybe Victorians.
Anyway what’s a ‘flake of pints’? Never heard the term.
A quick google says it means too much head on a pint. Something to do with people being able to put a flake in it, apparently? Never heard it before, so assume it’s also a dumb Victorian thing.
I believe it’s an Irish term for a ‘bunch’.
All I know is I’ve picked it up from a song I (and my 3 year old daughter) really like by the 2 Johnnies - The Gaa, Ska & Ra.
“I asked if she wanted to go for something to eat, or a flake of pints on Camden Street…”.
