Pakenhamtrain

Depends on how to do it. Our HCMTs have cameras on the sides of every car. You can see the them on the side here. These will be over 700ft when they add 3 cars to each unit. CCTV camers inside the train should deal with that issue. Our trains have Passenger Emergency Intercoms that when activated trigger the closest camera.

Yes they're for Melbourne. The Siemens fleet was the first to have open gangways but given they're only a 3 car unit you can only walk only half a train when coupled together. The HCMTs are a 7 car unit so you can walk the entire length. They do have fire doors in the DMp(the 91xx and 98xx) and DT(93xx) car but these are open in normal operation.

A few months ago on the 27th of December Melbourne's new High Capacity Metro Train(HCMT) finally entered revenue service on the Pakenham line. Running as an extra service unit 11(comprised of cars 9011-9111-9211-9311-9711-9811-9911) ran a single trip from the depot at Pakenham East to Flinders Street via the City Loop and return. Coming down the hill into Narre Warren station with 9911 leading. A general overview of the 90xx car arriving at Dandenong. In each car there are 6 displays which display the next station, service information and what side the doors will be opening triggered by the Automatic Selective Door Operation(ASDO) beacon. The beacon also activates Train Operating System Safety Apparatus(TOSSA) telling the driver how far the stopping mark is and triggers the cameras on the side of the train. The ASDO beacons located at the start of every platform to tell the train what side the doors should open. When the train stops it locks out the side the not to open like so. The buttons themselves are not the usual press buttons. They're more touch sensitive and don't work like the rest of the fleet. Press it slightly too early it lights up red for 1.5 second and won't do anything. It's the reason why the "Wait for button to show Green before pressing" is there. People have been caught out and just keep pressing it not allowing the 1.5 second delay to run. https://i.imgur.com/uOb38xV.jpg Looking towards the drivers cab. The first set of doors has 6 wheelchair spaces along with two companion seats. The two large cabinets next to the door contain the wheelchair ramps. These are pulled out and lowered using a couple of gas struts. https://i.imgur.com/OqXsEZS.jpg Looking back down the unit. https://i.imgur.com/mUn8GR4.jpg In addition to the 6 displays above the doorways each car has 3 dynamic displays. These display a strip map of the line and the location of the train, service information and when arriving at a station they show connecting services. https://i.imgur.com/wTUpQMr.jpg The full strip map of the dynamic display. Showing the next stop, following stops and the current location of the train. The greyed out stations with the arrow on the like indicates the train runs express through these stations. https://i.imgur.com/0Bb10k7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/fz1gbkS.jpg These trains feature both assistance and emergency intercoms. Not that the functionally is much different. https://i.imgur.com/a5G103u.jpg With the crowds clearing we get a better look inside. At both ends of the car they feature both tip down and longitudinal seating. https://i.imgur.com/CKvL2mv.jpg And finally departing Hughesdale. As of now 4 units have been approved for service. All are running extra services and not revenue.

Currently I've got on: FOX FM 101.9.

https://twitter.com/mmmhotbreakfast/status/696784351716057088 So we've discovered why Cam Newton was rubbish in the Superbowl. He was at Punt Road a few years back. Clearly thier chocking in big games(Richmond have been below par the past 30 years), Last 3 years in finals series. Last 3 years they chocked.

This has to of been one of the greatest things I've ever seen on a footy field.

http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/phillip-hughes-dead-australian-cricketer-dies-after-bouncer-at-scg-20141127-11vcpt.html It's not too often people die in sport but sadly Australia has lost a test batsman way too early.

During Christmas time and Easter I would reckon it could give it a run for it's money. The main drag is busy place by country town. For everyone who heads that way they use Bairnsdale as thier lunch stop.

http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/breaking-news-blog/man-arrested-after-police-chase/20141023-3ip7x.html How in the hell did he manage to do 150 through Bairnsdale. To do that during the day is just crazy. Bairnsdale is a very busy country town and is a major stopping point for a lot of traffic on the M1/A1. Hell flying through Morwell, Traralgon, Sale, Rosedale & Stratford is crazy. I guess that explains why I heard sirens today.

Some of you might know of Andre Holmes who plays as a wide receiver in the NFL for Oakland. His brother, Jason took a much different route. He's went down under to play Aussie rules. He was picked up by my club as a rookie. He's spend most of the year playing in the twos' for Sandringham as a ruckman.

15 years ago today the Aussie rules goal kicking record was broken.

I'd love to know who in the Australian Football league felt the need to copy the NFL and have Sunday night football. Sunday night is just a garbage time for a game. It's a shame the game has two teams I don't particularly like

Footys back finally! Shame the opening game is Collingwood vs Fremantle The start to the weekend wouldn't be more complete if the ferals (Collingwood) got flogged.
