so

our trains have a bunch of automated announcements, like they do

one of these is "PLEASE HOLD ON"

it fires off every time the train leaves a station

but unfortunately (?) it's intoned _very nearly_ the same way that Pakled say "RED ALARM" in Star Trek Lower Decks

and sometimes i manage not to notice it but most of the time it's all just

I’m leading a free group ride to celebrate the completion of Sound Transit’s Crosslake Connection of the Link light rail on opening day! We’re going to visit 2 new stations on the 2 Line as we cross Lake Washington on a 9 mile route mostly on trails.

Join me Saturday, March 28 at 11 am on the plaza above the International District/Chinatown light rail station.

IMHO, this is another stupid move by Chris Minns.

The Minns government is breaking up phase two of the Parramatta Light Rail extension.

Phase one to Wentworth Point will be built first.

Meanwhile, the section from Wentworth Point to Olympic Park, which is likely to be *heavily* used, is going to be delayed.

Which means it won't (at least initially) connect with the new Olympic Park metro station.

And, rather than doing the sensible thing of extending it further from Olympic Park to Strathfield via DFO Homebush, a further extension to Strathfield is not currently on the agenda.

Building it in two stages likely to cost more overall as well.

"The final 10 kilometres of the Parramatta light rail line will now be built in two sections after the Minns government approved construction of the first stretch from Camellia to the fast-growing suburb of Wentworth Point, which will start by the time of the state election in March next year.

"In a marked departure from previous plans to build it in one go, the government has confirmed that it will construct the section between Sandown Boulevard in Camellia and Footbridge Boulevard in Wentworth Point, which is expected to take several years to complete.
…
"Staging the build of the 10-kilometre line between Camellia and Olympic Park will reduce the amount of funding required for the entire project over the next few years. However, delaying construction of part of it risks making the entire line more expensive in the longer term."

Sound Transit Link light rail train in the (brand new) downtown Redmond station.
The shot was more or less determined by finding a convenient place to put the camera down.
While taking this picture I met some friendly and chatty Sound Transit employees who were curious about what I was doing.
