If the Melbourne entry is going to mention that city's distance from Sydney . . . Oh, and you might mention the city's namesake.


As an inhabitant of Sydney, I honestly can't see why its subway is considered interesting - some details please, or else excise the reference -- MB

Probably just a remnant of the Underground nomenclature wars :-) --Anders Törlind

Manning: You don't find Sydney's subway system interesting? You've obviously never gone on a tour of the disused tunnels off St. James station :) -- Simon J Kissane

Sydney's subway is really just the urban section of the suburban rail network. The most interesting feature as far as I'm concerned is that double-decker trains run underground in the city centre. >>>>Lee M 01:15, 24 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Double-decked trains are the only type of trains on the CityRail network, and such that fact really isn't that interesting :) Dysprosia 01:19, 24 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Sydney is still the only city I know that has double-decker trains running underground in the city centre. If I choose to be interested by that then it's interesting. :P Lee M 13:13, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Again, some discussion of Sin City's criminal past is worthwhile, but the article as it stands gives the misleading impression that the crime rate is extremely high in world terms, which is just not true. Not even Alan Jones can make it so.---Robert Merkel 07:31 Dec 5, 2002 (UTC)

I agree - the crime section seems very out of place - wm

I've bitten the bullet and yanked it and whacked a great big disclaimer on top. If somebody wants to fix it, well and good, otherwise it can stay well out of the way. --Robert Merkel 04:13 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)
That'sinteresting - it was part of a seprate article in the first place! ( See history of this page) Arno 07:35 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)
