Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / May 2006Do you use the trains to get around Perth?
Just found out about this. Very cool. 24th May 2006 Timetable2SMS Beta Launch A new SMS service has been setup by www.sms-store.com/trains.asp for receiving train timetables to your mobile phone for Perth Australia. Send a SMS to : +447854920781 with the message: SMSTP Perth Fremantle (or you can type SMSTP Per Fre for short if you like). You will be sent an SMS with the next 5 train times back to your mobile phone. There is presently no charge for receiving messages from this service as it is in the development stage. The only timetable available at the moment is Perth to Fremantle however the service will expand if there is a large interest. This development service is open until the end of June 2006 only. > Just found out about this.

Why? The original post (and as you've quoted it) reads, "A new SMS service has been setup by www.sms-store.com/trains.asp for receiving train timetables to your mobile phone for Perth Australia.".

You obviously live here, you're dead right! Forest Place across from Perth station, and that dingy park across from Fremantle station ain't much better, but the Armadale and Midland trainlines as a whole late at night are pretty much Aborigine terrorist zones, without fail. >>> If you are already at the train station, can it send u an SMS to warn >>> when a [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > better, but the Armadale and Midland trainlines as a whole late at night > are pretty much Aborigine terrorist zones, without fail. Yep. I drive everywhere. Public transport sucks and Perth doesn't know what a traffic jam is. People think an extra 20 minutes on the freeway at peak hour is the end of the world.

People think an extra 20 minutes on the freeway at > peak hour is the end of the world. During the week I'm the same, but weekends is public transport time. The police don't seem to like it when I drive with beer in me, and taxis can get damn expensive when you live in outer whoop-whoop, so consequently it's the weekends when I see all the fun terrorism going on. |
