| Yes, Susan, Central Station (aka Sydney Terminal) is still operating as a railway station. Indeed, I think I would put it on my list of icons (just had to fix the spelling there, as my diplopia caused me to type "lust"), not just for my city of Sydney, but also for my state of New South Wales. In the affection of the hoi poloi, I suspect it would rank second after the "coat-hanger". We do, though, have a penchant for demolishing fine old buildings such as this, eg the original Stock Exchange in Bridge Street, and of showing disrespect and changing them into hotels and eateries for the well-off folk, eg the GPO (General Post Office) in Martin Place. Every two weeks, I catch a train from Central up to Gosford, about 60kms, or 90 minutes. I visit my brother in an aged-care facility. This train shown here, was the 8:15am Intercity, yesterday, Sunday. I can also take the 7:45 am City-Rail train on a Saturday, depending of how my fortnight is structured. I love to travel by train. It is soothing, and I can people-watch 'til my heart's content. |

Train travel must be one of the best forms of transport. Quick, efficient and unique.
I love trains especially our blue mountains line and the xpt out to Dubbo and the Indian pacific. I can see them all from our home at this time of year when the leaves are off the trees
All you need is an iPad or iPhone to end up with wierd word substitutions. Or at least that is my excuse rather than my typing.
Oh, yes. I get the wierd substitutions on my iphone, too. But I know what I get now is my eyesight, not even my typing. I used to touch type with a speed close to 100wpm. Now I two-finger type, and still cannot get it right. I have to constantly check my work, yet sometimes I am too tired and just let them go through
It's good that you're able to see him.
