blackrex Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Melbournites; I've had a look on the train/tram map and I can't see how to get from the airport on a train to South Yarra. Is it me or is there no train line to the airport? No really functional public transport from either of the airports, it's either a taxi or the skybus that runs between Tullamarine and various locations. If you unfortunately land at Avalon, you are even worse off.

sh@un Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Is it me or is there no train line to the airport? You've got a memory like a goldfish. I 'ucking told you the other weekend they only have shuttle buses between Tullamarine and the city. And what's more, there aren't even bus/taxi only lanes into the city.

You don't have to pay bus drivers as much as train drivers and the training turn around is lesser... Lol, the only way to get out there is via private toll road. No way the government will step on that. Skybus to train station.

tweety bird Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Red Bull Racing will be forced to alter the engine mapping of its Renault power units from this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix after the FIA moved to close a loophole in the regulations. although no official statement has been made public, AUTOSPORT understands the new version of the regulation insists teams will be limited in the amount of adjustments it can make to the engine torque map race- by-race. According to the clarification, teams will be required to nominate one engine map - as a reference - that they used during the first four events of this season, which must then be approved by the governing body. Once passed by the FIA, the engine torque curves above 6,000rpm must not vary by more than plus or minus two per cent from that reference map. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/101496 seems a step too far IMO.

blackrex Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 So the teams that didn't have the engine mapping quite right in the first four races, or have since made major changes to the cars exhaust systems and other area's will possibly be screwed over big time by this.

iamhe77 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 So much for Melbourne being this super awesome place for public transport Confused by your statement.

Is it sarcasm or has Melbourne actually been unfactually touted as having good/decent/average/below average public transport? Over the years I've heard various people try to claim that transport in Melbourne is heeeaps better than Sydney, but the lack of an expedient way from the airport to Melb CBD during peak times suggests its all hot air. Free trips to Albert Park on trams with a valid F1 tick is useful tho Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384282-formula-one-2012/page/196/#findComment-6460399 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bastards. Every other day walk out of hotel to nearest tram stop then jump on.
