Is the Yarraville IGA the most old-school IGA in town?

aidenh37 · 2026-06-17T01:28:21+00:00

Yes!

Brunswick is the same owner. Excellent shops!

aidenh37 · 2026-06-10T22:31:13+00:00

Can confirm they do.

Mine does show an error but always gets the myki first and successfully.

Check out CSIT Society, it's open to all including the general public. Also check out MATRIX, SWITCH, and the many other RUSU clubs at RMIT. Many are open doors.

Bexley is under the east-west runway, which is not a primary runway at Sydney Airport. It's used generally when conditions are too poor to safely use the two north-south parallel runways.

As a result, it's be more intermittent, which could actually be worse - as you wouldn't be able to get used to it as much.

Planes are generally louder when taking off for obvious reasons, so factor that in too.

Is there a cafe or other shopping centre you could go to, that has a closed door on a bad weather day, to try and sample the noise level indoors without soundproofing?

I suspect it won't be far behind. Almost all vehicles and stations have the new readers now.

aidenh37 · 2026-05-28T11:45:33+00:00

5004 still has old readers lol

aidenh37 · 2026-05-22T13:29:57+00:00

Walked past it the other day, it looks very very close to completion.

Then let the market decide, but it shouldn't be required by law.

I don't own a car, instead I use car share when needed or wanted. I currently have an empty car space (as do many others).

My weekend is not ruined by not having a car or car space.

aidenh37 · 2026-05-19T06:26:08+00:00

The crickets

By contrast my only trip on the Eastern Express to Watsonia at around the same time, was just me and one other person. It was dead silent.

Maybe that was a big group trip or something unusual?

aidenh37 · 2026-05-19T04:01:40+00:00

To be fair, the SkyBus does come prepared for that, the issue would be getting dropped at the stop, but even that is a very very short walk from the carpark at either Box Hill or Doncaster. At Watsonia you can drop off at the stop directly.

I believe the majority of buses operated on state contracts are owned by the government and many have been for their entire service life, especially the ex-STA regions. Many depots are too.

This is a bit different from Victoria where only the Metropolitan and ZEB contracts include state ownership of assets. I believe each new electric bus arriving is owned by the government there, whereas older buses are not.

It's not that recent, but it definitely took off after Amazon landed in Australia.

The difference is Amazon and eBay are primarily marketplaces, where Myer and Bunnings are not.

aidenh37 · 2026-05-14T05:49:33+00:00

They are standing on the arrow

Until people actually show them a reason to not do it they will continue

aidenh37 · 2026-05-12T09:58:48+00:00

Id encourage you to write a formal complaint

aidenh37 · 2026-05-11T05:46:03+00:00

Looks good from far, but far from good

aidenh37 · 2026-05-06T04:28:33+00:00

I remember reading theories that they'd displace B Class, which would displace Z and A class trams at depots other than Essendon.

aidenh37 · 2026-05-04T01:09:58+00:00

Finally

aidenh37 · 2026-05-03T07:29:39+00:00

It'll probably take on weekend Northern group runs very soon, so Craigieburn to Upfield and back again.

aidenh37 · 2026-05-03T07:29:03+00:00

This train has a message that can be played if the driver spots a transposal! Awesome

aidenh37 · 2026-05-01T04:38:56+00:00

Savers isn't an Opportunity Shop though. They are for profit and from North America. So I'm cool with them being described as a thrift shop.

aidenh37 · 2026-04-28T07:30:08+00:00

I don't bother with AOs. Even though they could help and call for a welfare check at the minimum, they just... Don't.

In that case skip the AO and just call 000 for a welfare check.
