Back and forth between the OMSF and Colby Drive today with 507. Lots of different operators on the radio today in the cab - while it sounds like they're doing signal timing, I suspect they've also got a few new trainees at the helm.
Great spotting! There are plans in the near future to have four LRV’s (two trains of two) going at full acceleration in opposite directions on the Fairway Hydro Corridor to tax the TPSS’ to their limits.

I noticed they finally removed the traffic cone on the curb at King and Northfield, but I wasn't sure if they had done any work on it. Without a clear marker am pretty sure cars will still drive up on it by accident.
Caught a bit of today's testing as 505 arrived and departed from Waterloo Public Square. The signals at the Erb/Caroline intersection worked well but the ones in the parking lot were still a bit glitchy...

The reason our system has lubricators from the start is because of the problems G:Link encountered.
Quote:"By modifying the friction characteristics at the wheel-rail interface using specialised lubricants, wheel squeal and noise was completely eliminated during trials carried out on the GCLR network."
Quote:"The team from the IRT recommended and tested the use of friction head modifiers at a couple of critical locations in Surfers Paradise which had a significant impact on reducing the noise at those locations.
