Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

I still find it strange that batteries are measured by megawatt hours instead of joules. 250 megawatt hours is basically saying 250 megajoule-per-second-hours.

I saw a fireman going into the toilets. Maybe that's where the problem occurred.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

This is from the Advertiser. I didn't even know they were looking into such an upgrade. To someone who knows very little about trains, what benefits does "electrifying" the network provide? Will this increase the load on our already limited electricity infrastructure? It sounds like a goo...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

4029 appeared at Dry Creek at start of March and 4030 in mid April. I saw 4030 in service today (for I believe the first time). Strangely 4029 has yet to enter service.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains

So the bike friendly 3000 has been plying the root up and down from Belair for months now? Well this was the first and only time I've seen the bike friendly train on the Gawler line.
