One thing that has just dawned on me, they don't (yet?) have ads on the PSD facade. It's actually nice having unbroken visibility along the platform, I do hope they remain ad free.

This is a pretty cool space, it's just a pity there will be a hulking great electronic advertising sign here.

Here we have a westbound service that has just arrived at WFY in a CBTC protected mode. As this is a transition platform, the platform departure signal is held at stop until the train changes to conventional signalling mode.

The end CBTC sign at West Footscray. This one is for all of our friends out there who really don't like CBTC.

I also got a happy snap of a Comeng running a SUY line service. Once February comes around the SUY will be 100% HCMT, and once the western portal junction is gone the non-HCMT fleet won't even be able to get over this side of town.

The trains berth in the underground stations pretty swiftly. It's nifty.

This train is getting quite full, I honestly didn't expect this amount of pax.

Anyway I am onboard the leading car, and we'll see how we go.

There were quite a few people who have decided to do similar. They even put some queueing arrangements in place.

I've elected to journey to East Pakenham for a little trip thru that damned tunnel.

And in classic large corporate fashion, the wrong link was used. I did note earlier today once the button worked it was asking me to renew a personal account for 1 person, not a family account, so I gave up for the time being.

Looks like Microsoft are trying to fend off the ACCC case against them over the copilot slop in O365 issue. Mind you it seems Microsoft is hosting the website that is the target of the "switch to classic" button on a 80186 CPU on the far end of a 75 baud modem running over an open wire pole line.

I guess it's now the correct evening to post. For various technical reasons I had a guest spending some time last weekend in the passenger seat of the road motor. Was happy enough waving at everyone but didn't really say anything.

My employer has upgraded my laptop, and it seems we now don't provide a right ctrl key, instead it's now a copilot key. Urgh. Now I need to work out how to fix this rubbish (as it seems I use the right ctrl button all the time).

We visited a Vietnamese joint this evening in Croydon, and they have the gimmicky delivery robots! This one is extra special as when it goes back to the kitchen it always stops at the counter, politely asks it to move before realising it can move through the gap anyway.

Just watching some admittedly niche YouTube content, and I've discovered the US has some (but probably very few) level crossings with bells, but no flashing lights. Just a yield sign. To me, a bizarre arrangement.

Acquired a MTP promo showbag. I guess they have 10 million of them for various open days and events.

Was just watching another random YouTube video, this one had some vision of a travelling post office. Anyway now I know where they put all the hate mail.

Here is a backlit bus video from this arvo. Not the usual subject of the lens, but it was going past. At least the headways on this route had a little improvement recently.
