After more than 55 years serving the people of New South Wales, tomorrow is the last ever run in public service of a V set interurban double deck electric train. So this is the perfect time for a photographic tribute to these venerable, hard working and much loved trains.

is the same commitment to developer career exit by 2030
this isn't about being "left behind," it's about a fundamental rewriting of the ground beneath our feet. it's no longer speculative
