AustralianFan Posted August 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 26 minutes ago, Gonzo said: I have yet to see a valid response to Seb Coe/Herald-Suns' concern on how Ballarat with a population of 100,000 will fill a stadium of 30,000 day in, day out of 7 days for each and every morning/night session ... I await your answer as the Herr Commander won't answer it himself Come back and ask that question again in 2026 on the first day of the Track and Field competition in front of a stadium packed with Victorians who have come in by train, us and car. Early reports are that an events train platform will be installed near Mars Stadium in Ballarat. Park and Ride at train stations right aross Melbourne and the Regions with ticket will be heavily promoted. A massive fleet of coaches will, as it was for Sydney 2000, will operate a network of shuttles to various key strategic points and into, out of and between the four Regional Games Hubs and Melbourne. So no need to worry, after the big Opening Ceremony at the G, sport-loving Victorians will flock from the Regions and Melbourne to the beautiful settings of the competition venues throughout Victoria.

For Velocity trains that only have a maximum capacity of 222 people. There's not enough Velocity trains in the whole network that at capacity would be able to fill the Ballarat Stadium. V-Line signalling means only a maximum of 4 trains per hour can run on a regional line so at best they can deliver 888 people per hour to the stadium from Melbourne via train per hour for a trip than takes more than 90 minutes. Keep digging that whole son, Dan's paying you the big money for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh, in one sentence, you seem to have found a way not to have the Games a all based on your inside knowledge of ….. what ? …… nothing. Best to leave the logistics of Games public transport to the experts don’t you think? Or you can wait until the public transport plan has been released.

Gonzo Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 One thing I know is that people (the Silent Majority) are starting to get very sick and tired by the continual whining from the professional Aboriginal Industry led by the Aboriginal Elite (the Thorpes, the Stewarts, the Clarks, the Bambletts, the Briggs, the Murrays) who have sucked billions upon billions of taxpayers money over the decades, while Aboriginals of need in Central/Outback Australia continue to be mistreated and ignored And the "progressive" left push the virtue signalling down people throats The Aboriginal elites needs to be careful or there will be a massive pushback and you'll see a large NO vote in any Voice forthcoming referendum if the push to have ordinary Australians seem to be foreigners in their own country continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
