@TrainsInfo Someone's lit up a dart on the 4.48pm Central-Newcastle, and it's like I've been transported back to the 70s!

Hey @TrainsInfo, is there anywhere to buy a slushie at Central Station? I'm parched and out of ideas!

[Andy Greenpoint @andygreenpoint]

@TrainLinkNorth Any luck?

[Andy Greenpoint @andygreenpoint]

@TrainLinkNorth I was on the 4.48 Newcastle on platform 9 at Central, about to leave.
Then came the announcement:
'This is now the 5.18 service. You might like to move to platform 3 to catch the 5.03 service'.
The app is saying that the 4 48 departed platform 9 on time.
Weird!

So there are police officers on my @T1SydneyTrains train today, checking commuters' opal cards. Is it just me or is having armed police demanding your opal card maybe a little intimidating?

[Andy Greenpoint @andygreenpoint]

@ozbob13 I hope the Metro has a similar impact on the shops and restaurants around Epping station.
That place is a wasteland, with every second shop boarded up.

Hi @Alsboringtweets and @JerryRecco, if you're planning to go see Little River Band live, note that it's a completely American line-up. None of the people who recorded 'Cool Change' - all Australians - are still in the band!

@NedNegus @Socceroos Thinking of you and your family, Ned.
We'll all miss the great George Negus. Happy memories of our trip to China with the @CCMariners in 2012.

Are you kidding, @CCoastCouncil?
Here's this little water bill we received in the post today.
Due three days ago!

@renifanpage @KeithMoon @RHCPchad @copelandmusic @KevClark90 @mikejoycedrums @VanHalen It's hard to go past Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, Descendents, All). Nobody hits like Billy!

It's the school holidays, and it's 35 degrees outside.
I know, let's reduce the peak-hour Sydney-Newcastle train from eight carriages to four.
Great thinking, @TrainLinkNorth!

I was raking leaves in our front yard today when a herd of godbotherers descended upon our street.
They proceeded to visit every house except ours.
I'm not sure whether to be delighted or disappointed!

@smos1313 @goblin_thegrey HooDad!

@TraceyLeeAU Maybe a memo last week saying this week is cancelled?

[Andy Greenpoint @andygreenpoint]

@TraceyLeeAU @hotchipsandmayo @billybragg @Enmore_Theatre I never saw Billy at Selina's.
Maybe 1987?

[Andy Greenpoint @andygreenpoint]

@CCoastCouncil Will the perpetrators also be removed and disposed of as far as possible?
Please and thank you.

@Alsboringtweets Any reason why the Boomer and Gio podcast has completely vanished from Google Podcasts?

[Andy Greenpoint @andygreenpoint]

@WFANmornings Any reason why the Boomer & Gio podcast has vanished from Google Podcasts?
It has been unavailable since about Thursday last week.
I'm missing it bigtime!

@Alsboringtweets Re drop punts: in rugby league football, field goals can only be scored by drop-kicking the ball. Makes for some interesting moments!

@CCMariners Will the car park under the Brian MacGowan Bridge be open tomorrow morning?
