It is not all that hot in Sydney today, certainly nothing compared to other capitals, but our trains are dying.....or at least the one I am on is. Luckily I still have 3G access :)
Am in a tunnel just past North Sydney. We hopped off the train at NS and was told all was fixed.....
haha......we are now being sent back to NS station.
Once burnt twice shy. I won't be getting back on this train.
NSW - FIX YA $%^$ public transport system
edit:
Should have put this in the soapbox section
All the lights have just gone out. Luckily the MacBook Pro have a backlit keyboard :-)

LMAO Stevo!
Why would your virgin wireless be great - if it was stolen? Tracking purposes?
Apples ARE awesome!
hehe, Xavie!

Well I'm out now and on another train with air con and room to move.
I'd much rather be stuck in traffic in the Landy than on a train stuck in a tunnel with no lights or air con. In fact I'd rather be stuck in the Landy in traffic than be on a working train :D:D

Catch-22 had 3G connection even in the tunnel! What has your provider got to do with this thread?
Does Virgin fix Sydney Trains?
Are you an agent for Virgin wireless broadband?
Why is there always some Mac user who pipes in telling us how much they love their Mac, so what, does Apple fix Sydney Trains?
Rant over!

You New South Welshmen will keep voting Labor.
You have no one to blame but yourselves.
Hopefully in the next QLD election, we will be giving them the flick.
Moved here 9 years ago, from NSW, where the Hospital system was the worst in Aust and QLD had the best.
In just under 9 years, the Qld Labor party has made ours the worst. ( announced in the media today ).
Also heard that Rudd has asked for a paper on the possibility of the Feds taking over Hospital system from all the states, this would be a good move.
Then they could take over the public transport.

You have Public Transport? The only trains we see in Karratha are loaded with Iron Ore or process gas to LNG.
Yep, us Nissan drivers pop back up every now and then. :angel:
