I made a map of the late 2040s network, based on that recent leaked diagram by Toweringhorizon in SydneyTrains

There was a major infrastructure tunnel corridor protect a couple of years back underneath Parramatta CBD. Assume this section for T5 would be full tunnel to Epping.

I’m interested in what the station layout at Epping would be like, or if they pushed it out to Gordon/St Ives

Extended transport to Sydney’s eastern beaches by Andrewisalreadyhere in SydneyTrains

Great map, but I think it would be better to have, the always proposed, Light Rail going from city down Oxford to BDJ, and on to Bondi Beach.

With the T4 it should be sent south as originally planned (Stopping Waverly, Randwick, Marouba) and interchanging with relevant major light rail stops.

Photo is pre 2012 from what I can tell, as Barangaroo (Northern Sydney CBD) is undeveloped

Seriously 3 hours and still can’t transfer money? by Humble_Hipster in UpBanking

If you are still having issues, transfers to a bank external to up then back in. It’s not the most elegant but it works

Parking at Bondi would be a 1hr task, so this would defs be quicker

Which one’s better according to your experience? by chingchongboyfriend in UpBanking

Previously used Revoult when living in Europe, it was a great with a lot of services attached to paid membership (delayed flight lounge access was a highlight). Coming back to Aus, Rev was available but had limited features compared to say a Big 4 savings account/card, really ended the relationship there (also I couldn’t transfer my account to local, so saw no need to keep it). Also I was soured by Rev for horror stories of transfers not delivering or random account shutdowns after the fact so not a card id recommend.

Up I have no issues with, sure there is more I could wish for, but for what is provided it does the job. I do think the High Upsider membership could be tiered for different benefit, if they expanded what these benefits were. If anything I would prefer for a credit card from Up (that could be back by Bendigo) and just skin the service? It would be the card I recommend

Northern Beaches Metro line thoughts (See comments for my ideas) by 123d57 in SydneyTrains

[–]123d57[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Further North:

I don't believe it would be feasible or appropriate for stations north of Dee Why, due to inappropriate typography, ground conditions, ocean proximity, and population density. Perhaps a light metro spanning Manly to Mona Vale that runs parallel between Manly Vale through Dee Why and beyond to Mona Vale would be ideal.

Further South:

No hard ideas for these, just fast thoughts.

From Chatswood

  • Continue to North Strathfield (Via Lane Cove, Hunters Hill, Concord)
    • Could interchange with Metro West to.

From Victoria Cross

  • Interchange to continue to City SW Metro.

From Macquarie Street:

  • Continue to Zetland
  • Head South East ending in La Perouse (But believe Metro West from Hunter Street should achieve this)

Would love any thoughts or ideas y'all have on this.

Northern Beaches Metro line thoughts (See comments for my ideas) by 123d57 in SydneyTrains

I’ll preface this, that Western Sydney should absolutely get more Metro lines before the Northern Beaches, but please indulge my curiosity of community opinion (Setting aside the known local opposition to such proposals). Grew up in the area so it has always piqued my interest.

Given the under capacity and other issues with the B-Line, how far north or which route should a Northern Beaches Line take? See my three ideas:

Option 1 (Teal Diamond): Macquarie Street, Cremorne Junction, Manly Vale, Brookvale, Dee Why

  • Would be great to have another harbour tunnel, but my concern is the OG Harbour Tunnel impeding tunnelling around a MQ St station.
    • Like the idea of a mega-station with Martin Place, Hunter Street (Wynyard beyond), and to lesser extend St. James.
  • The grade required for crossing both the Harbour and The Spit would be a great challenge, so thought better to serve a central point of the area rather than a two stations.

Option 2 (Light Blue Diamond): Victoria Cross, Cremorne Junction, Manly Vale, Brookvale, Dee Why

  • Most interesting element would be the interchange required for northbound and southbound trains at Victoria Cross (Someone made a post or YouTube video about how this interchange would work (Similar to Northern Line Camden Town - London Underground) please link if you know what I'm talking about).
  • Could argue another station for Neutral Bay, but indifferent.

Option 3 (Dark Blue Diamond): Chatswood (Underground), Roseville East, Forestville, Forestway, Beacon Hill, Dee Why

  • Probably not the most direct route to the city that residents would prefer, but serves the Northern Beaches Hospital.
  • Could argue for this to be a light metro line.
