Someone should have gone to Specsavers

[John Arton]

Whoever ordered these new ferries should have looked at the plans more closely before ordering.

Saw this on the News here JA
Quite ridiculous ,another b----s up, with the Transport System here!
Last time it was the new Carriages ordered for the Train Line, but found out that they were too wide for the Tunnels up here in the Blue Mountains, so now have to spend Millions more Dollars fixing the Tunnels (Widening) what a big job and all for what!

Surely when ordering such things more care and thought must be taken to ensure that there will be no extra costing and unnecessary fixes!

Now all the Passengers who will use the new Ferries will have to be on Alert at all times!
Large Notice will have to put on board , and at the Boarding Points!
Grrrrr!!!!!!

Hi Vernon.
Those trains were too wide for the platforms as well, they would have sheared a foot into the carriages. As for the ferries, the Govt contract was given to a Newcastle boatyard who then gave it to one in Korea, why the height of the bridges wasn't included no one knows, there was also asbestos in some of the ferries that had to be removed, no doubt paid for by our corrupt State Govt. I can't understand where the Corruption Commission is on all this.

So: "Now alongside late-running trains and COVID-safe buses, commuters will have to worry about bridges knocking their heads off as they battle Sydney's transport."?

LOL.

If you allow any gov department to be involved in such a purchase you will get problems.

If they left such things to the people who know, such as those who will be running them these idiotic problems would never arise.


Here in Victoria we have a Desalination plant built under a Labor gov where the Unions ran one of the biggest rorts ever, and guess what, it is only half efficient.
