thing is DC...PT is and ought to be a Public Service provision. By all means run it properly but that often is at loggerheads with pennypinching and eyes only on the bottom line.

To have allowed two incompatible train designs loose on once homogeneous network was ridiculous. Had there been ONE authority overseeing this wed have saved millions...Remember.. the franchise didnt buy the trains..just ordered them WE paid for them. One lot the crappy french Xtraps cant even run safely at theposted speeds allowed. Brilliant !!

btw I have much respect for Ingénierie Française, but those xtraps were from the bargain basement

what other city allows more than one body to oversee one element of infrastructure ?? f'n stupidity to the x !!

don't doubt it bb, and as i said i'm swayed towards the notion pt should be a ps utility

i was just pointing out that that won't be the end of "issues", big or small. remember myki was a govt decision

Agreed, DC. The thing that swings it for me in favour of public ownership is that then the water or electricity (or whatever) provider has an incentive to decrease demand, rather than increase it, whereas private such providers tend to want to increase everything. If nothing else, the drought of a few years ago should have taught us that we can't take supply of these things for granted ...

Other than that, it comes down to whoever has the best bananas ... :blink:

That is my understanding as well dc.

Bring back the SEC I say.

We have been on the downhill slide ever since Jeff sold it.

The slide started once Sir John Monash (of WWI fame) stopped running it ... Once great, now struggling to do its job --- sounds a bit like a certain football club ... :)

The idea of subdividing the transit system under the notion of "competition " was the start of the rot. How can there be competition with different elements servicing different destinations etc. It was flawed as a concept and buggered in delivery. Yes that was a Govt decision... a bad one.

Myki , also a Govt introduction. The authority, any authority that actual RAN a system didn't want it as was full of problems from the get go..it too a govt decision not an PT one, they just have to wear it. these things occurred as result of 'agendas' not genuine progress :(

PT whether utility run or privately operated is too painful to discuss

when i think of all the wasted money and dumb decisions i could cry

and to cap it off no-one pays anyway (well mostly)

Sounds like it is the Powerless Republic of Mornington Peninsula and Boganville today ... Blackout at Frankston Shopping Centre :wacko:

Perhaps the North and West are needlessly worried? :blink:

Ouch!

You guys do have real issues over there it seems.

I would have blamed BBO, Biff and Moonie but it appears this issue is bigger then them.

Rationality of that sort never seems to stop Demonlanders (with the exception of this thread, generally )

Come to think of it we could do with some hail right now.

Don't know how they can play tennis in the heat. I think it is just plain dangerous and the officials have failed the players.

In the meantime-let 'em fry.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
