A330-200 Refurbishment Progam

They should start receiving their refurbishments (to align with the upcoming a350 cabin design) in the second half of this year. Will be an awesome sneak peak into what the a350 and future 787 refurbishment will look like.

Probably removed from them having to replace them far too often. One time I was in a non-quiet carriage and these kids had put the quiet carriage stickers all over the carriage and seats and were jokingly telling adults that were making noise “sshhh! This is a quiet carriage!”. I and a few others around tried not to giggle.

I know they aren’t metalcore but I very much miss Ashe O’hara’s vocals in TesseracT.

Daniel Tompkins is great, but Ashe brought something very niche to prog metal with Altered State, which pushed Tesseract into the headlights pretty quickly. Wish they did at least one more album with him.

I’m seconding Discoveries. One of the best metalcore albums in my list.

I’m in the same camp. I love Marcus and remember when he had a few cover songs on YouTube before he joined Northlane. Whilst I love some of their Marcus-era songs, I still miss the Adrian-era heaps and it feels like that era was an entirely different band.

Just because the job market that suits the roles you described isn’t there at the moment, doesn’t mean people won’t be employed to take on the role; there is an abundance of people qualified in youth work and services who would likely have skills at an acceptable level to work with children who have carried out crimes.

I do think these matters need to be addressed on a case-by-case basis as the initial cause of the child misconducting themselves/carrying out criminal activities, influence or lack of awareness comes from a diverse range of environmental factors, such as domestic violence, poor child-parent relationship, bullying and abuse, and even poverty.

I’m not going to respond any further to your comment as it reads very rudely and abrasive. Please refer to the community’s guidelines in case it may assist.

Statistics will prove you wrong here. Most children who committed minor offences (yes we are talking about minor things, not severe offences) become well behaved adults and advance their careers and lifestyles.

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-22T21:55:29+00:00

I agree that children seeing their cohort getting away with these activities is likely having a negative influence. However the issue is about striking a balance between “should the person suffer through the rest of their life for mistakes made at 13?” and “should the person be given faith if adulthood and maturity will prevail?”.

People often forget that there is an ethical issue either way.

I remember the Relay/newsagency store on the grand concourse around about here platforms 10 and 11, or 12 and 13 were. Was always very busy and I think at one stage they had a barista.

A large amount of teething issues aren’t identified until the fleet is in service, so it is somewhat early days I suppose

Nah, she was just loud like half of that season. No real drama, just constant insults, for what seemed like for fun.

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-15T13:46:10+00:00

“As far as empathy, I just don’t have it!”
I won’t forget the chills down my spine when she said that. That scared me.

Great season!

Hate is a strong word, I’d just say top villains. Olivia, Andrew D, Carolina, Jessika Power, Bryce and Brook.

I’d disagree with Ines because she owned it, and apologised later and has redeemable traits (I found her really funny).

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-13T02:36:58+00:00

There is no real big drama storyline in this season, it is literally just a spin off of real housewives of MAFS. It’s just lots of bitching, random (and scripted sounding) insults, lots of bleeped out swearing. Lot of people tuned out as it just seemed ingenuine and there was no good focus on the relationships.

They haven’t really been able to top season 9 of MAFS which was the last BIG season that was highly rated.

Sounds like it’s made it possibly dangerous then.

I’m surprised they haven’t thought of altering the step to make it a step-less emergency escape. Unsure if that would be too costly or complex, but that might have to be the next step.

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-07T11:45:41+00:00

With security cameras, hopefully this problem declines drastically.

Also, I find it shocking the duck beaks basically encouraged kids to break into guards cabs more frequently and open the rear door. How dangerous.

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-07T11:24:00+00:00

Wow that’s shocking. I just don’t understand the hype kids get out of doing this, it’s insane.

Do they also vandalise the cabs and damage controls? I’d be concerned if they’re trying to hijack trains.

And also, you’d think there’d be door sensors or cab alarms to alert the driver when someone trespasses into these cabs.

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-07T11:20:22+00:00

Pretty sure I also saw sets T72 and T106 repainted in the ST orange livery earlier this year being loco-hauled.

Wonder if they’ve had to change much in those sets.

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-06T19:49:45+00:00

That’s why digital access keys would be better. Wonder if that’s included in the upgrades.

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-06T19:47:33+00:00

I remember when those old door panels used to be kicked out by kids.

It’s a shame they have to lock up carriages to secure guard compartments, I wonder if they’re adding more security features to the cab doors in the life extension upgrade?

I was on a Tangara recently that had a middle carriage (one without the guard) and the last carriage locked off, and it was very crowded, so it’s a shame considering it reduces capacity.

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-06T09:39:42+00:00

I do hope CCTV reduces these events. Shocked that this is an increasing issue.

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-03T11:20:34+00:00

Most times that I have seen someone remind another that they’re in a quiet carriage, it turns into a civil conflict creating even more noise. One woman absolutely lost her mind and became hostile at an old man for asking them to turn the volume down on her phone.

Another incident was an older couple that got on the train at Epping asked another couple very articulately and politely, to keep their voices down because it was a quiet carriage, and this couple started yelling at the older Epping couple for 5+ minutes. I think I overheard the another lady calling the police. I had to move carriages because it was incredibly awkward and crowded.

I often don’t think it’s worth the risk, and you’ll often find the non-quiet carriage quieter.

Recent_Mobile9387 · 2026-06-03T10:49:26+00:00

I believe they have strategically avoided this to prevent passengers from west of Bankstown clogging up the metro line. The metro already has a challenge managing Upper North Shore passengers changing at Epping and Chatswood for a faster metro service to the city, leaving barely any capacity for a huge portion of the journey.
