@aj I’ve been looking for a replacement for #b2evolution since François shut down the project.

Looking forward to the answer about comments flowing to ghost

Interesting.

I cannot navigate by the maps posted at the National Arboretum in Canberra because they put north at the top but place them any old way.

Maybe i am weird, but when having to stand facing, say south-west, to read a map facing north, messes with my head.

@ajsadauskas @aj I can see what they're trying to do there, but that sort of orientation always throws me. I assume that the top is north.

Have the plane trees stopped with the killer pollen yet?

Exactly my thoughts. Why is everyone in Substack? So now there's GHOST. 🤔

both Beijing South and Shanghai Hongqiao are much further from their respective CBDs than Parramatta is to Sydney, and I'd say it still compares favourably to travelling to the airport once you factor in security and bag collection

Considering Sydney is the biggest city in the region I'd imagine journey times passing through aren't a high priority. Building outside the CBD would definitely make sense to save money though. No idea where you could fit an ~8 platform through station near central

Given the big bow in the line from Hornsby to Parramatta, it surely would have been quicker and cheaper to just make Parra (or Strathfield) the Sydney HSR stop?!

I mean, you already have the Western Sydney Metro providing a direct connection to the Sydney CBD...

The new trains are really nice, the openness is a contrast to the relatively claustrophobic Sydney double-deckers with low ceilings and narrow aisles
