The name comes from railways, and the blog will deal with trains in the most depth - but will also deal with trams and buses. It will also deal with how government promotes or restricts non-public transport, including roads and cycling infrastructure.
It will focus on Victoria, but will also deal with other states of Australia and other countries as well. Because I have lived in regional Western Victoria for most of my life, the blog will inevitably focus on that areas.
It will feature commentary on current proposals, updates on projects that are underway, general primers on important concepts, pieces of railway history, and ideas about where we should be heading in the future.
Since starting this blog I have been involved in both paid and volunteer roles in transport advocacy for several different organisations. The views expressed on this blog are my own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of those organisations unless explicitly stated.
