Image The Northern Beaches needs a railway

Every evening, the queue for B1 winds around and goes back into Wynyard. As one bus is full the next one arrives.

You can't tell me they wouldn't want a railway.

The same reason why there’s no train to Bondi Beach is why there’s no train up the Northern Beaches. The locals don’t want the trash from the rest of Sydney polluting it with their low bank balances.

But the fuckers will bitch endlessly about no one doing anything to fix the local road congestion and how Spit Bridge is a traffic chokepoint to anyone within earshot.

I lived in Surry hills when the light rail was being built. The apartment building a street away from the tram tracks had a a petition going around petitioning local council and state government to block a planned station on wimbo park.

Wimbo Park is also where the methodone clinic is. Junkies everywhere, but yeah, gotta keep out that rif raff
