Weekly Wrap 807: All the podcasts, all the trains

Looking along a railway station platform shortly before sunset. A Sydney Trains V-Set stands on the right, stretching along the platform towards left, where its distant nose is just short of a signal glowing red over red. The forward part of its shiny fluted steel sides glisten in under the platform’s illumination, although the car nearest us is mostly in the shadows, its two levels of windows glowing yellow and highlighting the purple upholstery within, The only person to be seen is the driver walking up to the front of the train, a tiny figure in the distance.

It was very busy, my week of Monday 10 to Sunday 16 November 2025, despite sleeping all day on Tuesday due to a suspected mild virus. Lots of podcast work, some client work catch-ups, and a very busy weekend. Many trains were involved, so I’ve decided to post a photo of a soon-to-be scrapped V-Set. I will not miss them.
