how they ask you out/how you ask them out - part two
Tumblr media
Valtteri Bottas:
You were immediately different from the get go. Compared to the many extroverted women that Valtteri had both dated and encountered throughout his career, you were an introvert. You knew how to be civil, how to talk to strangers but you much preferred more intimate situations where conversations can be a lot more personal and meaningful. Valtteri loved the way you would immediately turn to rambing away about random things when you were nervous, something he had encountered when he asked to buy you a drink the very first night he met you. It was absolutely refreshing to encounter someone like you, someone as genuine as you. 
It was very slow at first; he followed you on Instagram, you asked for his number, he would ask how you were, you would ask how his training was. There was a lot of back and forth and it was clear the two of you were waiting for either person to make the first move. Tiffany was quite enjoying sitting on the sidelines as the two of you would privately message her with updates about the conversation or how to ask the other one out. It was honestly quite sickeningly cute really. 
You felt your phone buzz as you were getting ready to finally leave your cafe after a long and very busy day. Summer holidays in Australia were absolute mayhem, especially being located at the beach, however there was nothing like the busy period that was the Winter holidays with families hoping to get the last bit of sun at the beach before they went back to their cold hometowns. You opened your phone, half expecting it to be a text from a coworker about a shift cancellation or something but instead your heart raced when you saw a certain man's name on your screen. 
Valtteri: i’m on a break and decided to come to australia, how about i take you out for dinner?
Y/N: you know, australia is pretty big and i’m fairly certain you’re nowhere near my town
Valtteri: let me rephrase. i’m on a break and decided to come and surprise you now can i please take you out for dinner?
Tumblr media
Mick Schumacher:
It was almost as if Nigel knew when Mick had come home from a race weekend. The growing puppy would lay in his spot near the window and as soon as he spotted the headlights of Mick’s car he bounded out of the house and through the paddocks and gardens to greet Mick on his front step. You would apologise profusely when Nigel came running back with muddy paw prints, a belly full of treats and a tired but smiling Mick walking behind him, but Mick always insisted that it was okay, which it was. It was a non-tradition tradition he now loved, though as much as he loved Nigel, he wouldn’t mind coming home to someone like you. 
He had developed a crush on you after a few months, grateful to have a neighbour like you. You would always offer dinner when Nigel led him back, and it was partially because you lived in a big house with lots of horses and Nigel and you desperately needed other forms of social interaction, but you too had also developed a crush on Mick. After your first meeting, you couldn’t help but look him up. You knew nothing about the sport when you first found out just how well known he was but you decided to watch some and soon found yourself cheering for him. 
Half an hour after Nigel disappeared to greet your neighbour he came back, this time with a single rose through his collar and a note. You looked around outside and raised an eyebrow when you saw no Mick. You called Nigel inside, the puppy sitting with his tail wagging as he eagerly waited for you to pat his paws dry. You immediately went for the note, opening it to see some messy scribbling that was only just decipherable. 
How about you come to mine for dinner? 
Tumblr media
Kevin Magnussen: 
The sex was absolutely insane. He was just as much into his own pleasure as he was into yours and he spent ample time trying to make you cum, watching you as you squirmed in the hotel bed. Kevin was obsessed with the way you sounded when he got you to your peak, the way you moaned out profanities or softly said his name. He loved making you feel this way, making you come undone and it was all because of him. God, if your brother found out what the two of you were doing it would honestly be a civil war in the Haas Racing Team. 
It first started off as cheeky flirting with Nico trying to keep the two apart. Nico loved you immensely, he was the big protective older brother and he also loved Kevin and the way they rekindled their friendship and how he had become a true friend in such a short amount of time. Nico was supportive of you when you finally decided to go no contact with your parents and he supported Kevin when he went through his divorce with Louise so if he ever found out that the two of you were casually having sex, he would go off. 
“You know,” Kevin began as he settled you into his arms, your body absolutely tired from the past couple of hours. You rested your head on his chest, listening to his heart rate as the two of you both cooled down. “We can get food sometimes, no expectations of sex.” You raised an eyebrow, looking up at him. 
“Like, as friends or..” You trailed off. You wouldn’t say no, to engaging in something other than casual sex with him. Sure, he was a lot older than you and was your brother’s teammate but he was gorgeous and a gentleman. He was very respectful and the two of you were clearly compatible sexually. 
“We can make it as a friendly date or a date date.”

Her Favourite Worst Nightmare
I - Toccata
It was a cold winter night for Adelaide, but having just come from London's mild summer, Judith had expected it to be much colder. There was almost no change at all in temperature, but the air was cleaner -- so clean she wondered how she'd ever breathed at all before she died. The rain had followed her to this city too, gently spattering across the tram window.
"So what do you reckon?" Frankie prodded, nudging Judith with his meaty elbow across the aisle where they both stood.
"Huh?" The Daeva turned blankly to her clanmate, taking a moment to process his question. The last night she was awake had been a very long night, and she had the feeling tonight was going to be another.
Rubbing her bleary eyes and focusing past the rain, she surveyed the urban scenery as it passed by. Lit only by false light under an overcast sky -- orange sodium, cold fluorescent, LED headlights, colourful neon, and their blurred reflections on the drizzle-slick asphalt -- Judith could make out the painted iron of colonial balconies, the elaborate stone of Victorian masonry, and the glass and steel of modern skyscrapers between the slow river of cars and pedestrians that wove their way in and out of the connecting streets and alleys. This city wore its age on its sleeve, and it was young, like she was.
She was grateful for that.
"At least there's a night life?" Judith attempted gloomily.
"Better than you could hope for on such short notice. Just wished more bands stopped here, ay. Y'know Zeppelin passed us over in '72? Fuckin' devastating." Frankie shook his head, then shot a cheeky wink at the older fellow seated nearby who'd turned to give him a queer look.
"But I was asking about your new digs," he added, a little quieter.
"Oh." Judith's mind flashed back to the peeling paint and stained carpet.
"They'll do fine," she replied, a little more honestly this time. It was private enough, and shelter from the sun, and she knew havening in another shithole would make her feel right at home in this pale, sleepy shadow of the broken empire she'd never see again.
"Right on. We'll get you some furniture so you're not sleeping on the floor."
The tram crawled to a stop at a sheltered island in between the lanes of King William Street. As the doors opened, and the kine surrounding them began to shuffle out into the night air, Judith leaned in close enough to whisper.
"Think I've got time for a hit?"
Moving to alight with the other passengers, Frankie looked her up and down with a grin, and beckoned her to follow suit before more evening riders could cram themselves into the carriage. He sat down on a steel bench and waited for the tramstop to empty and the doors to close.
"Probably not the best idea to be sky high when you meet the Prince," he laughed, as the transport slowly slithered off to resume its circular route.
"'Sides, you'll be here for hours trying to sniff out anyone willing to take junk from some rando cockney punk they've never laid eyes on. Anyone your type, anyway."
Frank's eyes lingered on her chest for the third time that night, Judith noticed. She always noticed when someone looked a little too long. Not that men ever tried to hide it.
"I dunno," she shrugged. "I can be pretty bloody persuasive."
With a sarcastic smile, Judith turned to appraise her surroundings. She tried her best to focus, to put the itching thirst for her next fix out of her mind. Her new best friend had brought her here, to the communal hunting grounds known as The Rack, because she had a more pressing thirst to quench.
"Hindley Street that way," he pointed ahead of him, "Pubs and clubs galore," then he thumbed over his shoulder. "Rundle Mall that way. Shops are all closed right now though."
"Closed!?" Judith gaped. "It's not even six yet!"
Frankie let out a brassy chuckle. "Welcome to South Australia!"
"How the fuck do you buy shit then?"
"Ghouls. Just about everyone's got one."
Judith rolled her eyes. Lovely. Another complication. Frankie waved dismissively.
"No worries, we can share until you've found one. Grant's got good taste, he'll get you started on a new collection."
Judith made a sour expression and resumed her focus, scanning the thin crowd of mortals on either side of the street for her next meal. It still stung that she'd had to abandon 35 years of records, not to mention her favourite Fender.
"You 'right then?" she offered.
"Yeah, had a snack on the way in. Back here when you're done, then we'll boogie."
With a nod, Judith hopped off the tramstop and strode purposefully off towards the outdoor Mall to the East, avoiding further conversation. She wasn't in the mood to play the social game, and no good targets had yet presented themselves for an ambush. Most women walked with their partner or in groups, or else they weren't particularly appetising.
Trudging out of the mild bustle of King William into what was at this hour an underused thoroughfare between more desirable destinations, she was about to settle on tailing a wrinkled old bat dragging a hand-cart when her ears picked up the sound of music.
The piercing, mournful song of wailing strings cut through the damp night air, drawing Judith in like a siren. For a few sweet moments, she forgot her gnawing hunger as she floated upon the melody, following it to its source.
Rounding the corner of one of Rundle's numerous side-passages, she at last laid eyes on the gorgeous, glossy curves of a violin in fervent motion. It was cradled by a short, skinny lad, bundled up in a duffel coat and thick red scarf, and he seemed lost in his passionate playing.
Judith stood, captivated. Leaning against the wall across the path from the young man, she watched the soft rain fall between them from her adjacent point of shelter, surrendering herself to join him on the higher plane of ecstasy shared only by a musician and their audience. It was some classical piece she was sure she'd heard before, but couldn't name. Hardly her scene, but masterful regardless.
When she came back to earth, Judith noticed the violinist was staring at her from behind his dancing bow. Momentarily startled, she thought to reach for her wallet for a tip until she remembered she was woefully short on this country's legal tender. Instead she patted her pockets and shrugged to her fellow artist with an apologetic smile, and had turned to move on when a passerby suddenly caught her eye.
A woman, tall and pale. Blonde. Fishnets. Fur coat. Judith felt her heart leap into her throat.
It couldn't be. Could it?
She forgot her prior reverie immediately, falling in behind the girl in a silent pursuit. Her ravenous eyes burned into the back of that pretty, golden head. What would Charlotte be doing on this side of the world? Had Frankie smuggled her out of hot water too, all those years ago? Don't be stupid, she told herself. Even if she were here, what are the chances you'd meet her again the very first night?
Judith quickened her pace. She couldn't sense a Beast within that beautiful figure, but she had to be sure. When her quarry turned off the main path, she seized the opportunity to close the distance.
"'Scuse me, love!" she called out.
The woman turned. It wasn't Charlotte.
Judith's heart sank a little. The blissful nights she'd spent with her Sire were so long ago now that they seemed like a dream, and throughout the lonely years since she'd woken, the details had been slowly slipping through her fingers like grains of sand. Would she even recognise Charlotte's perfect, painted smile if it were inches away?
"Can I help you?"
The mortal woman in front of her did not smile. Her posture stiffened at being approached in this low light, but she stood her ground. Judith gave her a friendly grin. Her small stature and deceptively cherubic face tended to set strangers at ease, despite the studs and leather jacket.
"Sorry to bother you love -- my phone's dead," Judith lied. "Any chance you can point me to a cafe that's still open?"
The pretense and friendly tone gave the poor girl an excuse to lower her guard a little.
"Oh." She glanced around to further gauge her immediate safety, wobbling a little on her red stilettos. "Sure, hang on."
Momentarily taking her eyes off of Judith, she dug a hand into her coat pocket to pull up google maps. Though cordial, she kept a vice grip on her gold-plated smartphone.
"Cheers love," Judith edged ever closer, eyeing her prey's white, swan-like neck.
When her search had loaded, she tilted her phone screen to show Judith the nearest red pins, wordlessly inviting her to lean in.
Too easy.
Lightning fast, Judith latched one hand tightly around the woman's wrist, slipped the other arm around the waist of her cocktail dress, and pulled her into The Kiss.
She felt her fangs slip into the warm, supple flesh like butter. Her prey quickly loosened in her grip, and uttered a delicious, sugary moan. Judith pushed Not-Charlotte up against the nearest wall; pressed a knee between her thighs. She let herself sink into a bittersweet nostalgia as thick, coppery blood -- with a welcome kick of vodka -- gushed red-hot into her waiting mouth and down her throat. Drinking her fill, she lost herself in the smell of her hair, the dance of her heart, the shape of her lithe body helpless beneath desperate hands.
It was only after Judith had licked the puncture marks closed and left her victim alone in a daze that she noticed the violin had stopped. Retracing her steps, she found that sure enough, the lad had packed it in and was nowhere to be seen.
Mustn't be a good night for it, she thought with a small pang of regret. For a moment, she considered chasing him down, thrusting twenty quid into his hand and letting him figure it out, but decided against it. With any luck, she'd be in town long enough to see him again.
Besides -- she had somewhere more important to be tonight, and she was probably already fashionably late.

What’s Trending in the Portable Power Station Market?
Tumblr media
The global portable power station market is expected to witness growth due to rising power consumption. Modern lifestyles and the rising usage of consumer devices have significantly increased the dependence on power, due to which, cases of outage largely impact communities worldwide. While this largely holds true for rural areas of developing countries, even a developed nation like the United States faced record-breaking power outages in 2020, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
During such emergencies, a portable power station is pivotal for keeping important gadgets, such as medical equipment, smartphones, laptops, and other electronic appliances, charged and operational. Many power stations are equipped with both regular AC outlets and USB ports, which enables charging multiple devices at the same time. Besides, they are available in a compact size, which has further increased their demand.
Our experts at Triton Market Research estimate the global portable power station market to advance with a CAGR of 5.6% in the forecast years 2022-2028.
Key Trends Influencing the Portable Power Station Market Growth
Growing Use of Smart Electronic Devices
A surge in the number of internet users, enhanced usage of smart devices, and increasing disposable incomes in developed economies have led to the expansion of the global smart home market. Consequently, the use of consumer electronics, such as home intercommunication systems, refrigerators, microwave ovens, personal computers, laptops, video game systems, tablets, and smartphones, as well as smart wearables, such as smartwatches and VR headsets, has grown.
These devices are now equipped with smart connectivity features and attractive interfaces to enhance user convenience, which has also drastically increased their power consumption requirements. Portable power stations are thus being increasingly adopted to ensure uninterrupted power supply to run these devices.
Rise in Outdoor and Camping Activities
Changing lifestyles and attitudes, along with a growing preference for leisure and rising recreational spending, have encouraged consumers to participate in outdoor activities. After a record 14 million caravan & camping trips in Australia in 2019, the number had dropped to 10.6 million trips by December 2020, as a post-pandemic effect. However, the caravan & camping economy massively rebounded post 2020, accounting for 12.6 million trips and $7.4 billion in traveler expenditure.
This, in turn, has spurred the use of camping equipment, such as rechargeable trekking headlights, mini-fridges, camping lamps, electric lighters, etc., which require power to function. Along with these, laptops and mobile phones are also essential to stay connected while outdoors, which calls for the use of portable power stations. Australia is one of the top camping destinations in the world, which is expected to position the Asia-Pacific portable power station market on a growth path.
Market Limitations v/s Promising Solutions
A major blockade to market growth is that the functional capabilities of portable power stations are not as extensive as those of portable diesel generators. Also, comparatively, they require charging, which is less convenient and time-intensive. Besides, the high cost of internal batteries in portable power stations makes them more expensive.
However, the use of lithium-ion batteries reduces the operational cost of portable power stations considerably, as their raw material is easily available at affordable rates across key regions like Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and North America. Moreover, they have higher charging capacity than sealed lead-acid batteries, and are hence preferred for time-sensitive applications.
For instance, Jackery Inc’s Explorer 1500 is a lithium-ion battery-based portable power station known for its faster charging times. Furthermore, compared to sealed lead-acid battery-based portable power stations, Li-ion battery-based portable power stations are more efficient, easily available, easier to carry, and offer superior energy density & fire resistance. Their growing use will play a major role in driving the portable power station market.
 
FAQs:
Q 1) Which are the key segments covered in the market report?
The key segments in the portable power station market include battery type, capacity range, power source type, and usage type.
Q 2) Which is the key region in the global portable power station market?
North America is the leading region in the global market, which accounted for the highest revenue share in 2021 and is also expected to witness the fastest growth in the forecasted period.

Sydney Trains A & B sets
Class of electric train operating in Sydney, Australia
"Waratah train" redirects here. For the station on the Hunter line of the same name, see Waratah railway station.
"New South Wales B set" redirects here. For the historic electric rolling stock, partly given the same set designator, see New South Wales Standard suburban carriage stock.
The Sydney Trains A & B sets (also referred to as the Waratah trains) are classes of electric multiple units that currently operate on the Sydney Trains network. Based on the M sets, the Waratahs were manufactured by a joint consortium between CRRC and Downer Rail, with initial construction taking place overseas in Changchun before final assembly at Downer Rail's Cardiff Locomotive Workshops. The sets were named after the Waratah flower, which is the state's floral emblem.
Quick Facts A & B sets, In service ...
The initial order for 78 A sets was the largest rolling stock order in Australia's history. These 624 A set carriages make up around half of the Sydney Trains fleet and replaced two-thirds of the 498 S set carriages. Delivery commenced in July 2011 and was completed in June 2014.
An order for 24 additional trains with updated technology and a lightly revised design was placed in December 2016. These are classified as B sets, or colloquially as Waratah Series 2 trains. The delivery of the first order of sets began in September 2018 and was completed in June 2019, while a second and final order of a further 17 sets began in September 2020 and was completed in June 2021.
Public Private Partnership
The A sets were delivered by a joint venture between Downer Rail and Hitachi for Reliance Rail under a Public Private Partnership (PPP). As part of the PPP, Reliance Rail will also maintain the trains for a minimum of 30 years at the purpose-built Auburn Maintenance Centre facility. At least 72 sets must be made available to Sydney Trains every day during the contract period.[citation needed]
Reliance Rail took on debts of $2.4 billion at cheap interest rates before the global financial crisis. Higher interest rates and changes in the financial sector after the GFC meant the company would have difficulty refinancing its debt, leading the Government of New South Wales into talks with Reliance Rail to resolve the financial status of the project. In February 2012 the Government agreed to bail out the project for $175 million by becoming the sole shareholder in 2018.
Design
Vestibule
The A sets were designed at the Downer EDI Rail design offices, then at Clyde, New South Wales & Maryborough Queensland. The sets are formed of eight carriages – a break from the previous standard Sydney practice of four car sets, which are then coupled to form eight-car trains. The configuration is: driving trailer car + motor car + motor car + trailer car + trailer car + motor car + motor car + driving trailer car. This means that guards operate from the rear of the train rather than the centre and that commuters are able to walk through the entire train. The trains include external CCTV cameras to assist guards.
Carriage interiors were designed by Transport Design International. The inside of the train includes additional Emergency Help Points and CCTV cameras compared to older classes. Improvements to the DVAs (Digital Voice Announcements) with differential pitch of the voice allow more natural sounding speech. 'Smart' air-conditioning automatically adjusts to the outside temperature and the number of passengers on board. Accessibility features include 16 wheelchair spaces, portable wheelchair ramps in the end cars, red fabric on priority seating and additional handrails compared to older trains in the fleet.
The A set is the first passenger train in the world to use LED lamps for all lighting (except for headlights). In doing so, the designers managed to remove almost 800 kg (1,800 lb) in reflectors and ballasts associated with fluorescent units, as well as reducing power consumption to around a quarter of that used by fluorescents. Woollen moquette fabric, a durable, vandal-resistant material, is used to cover the train's seats. The seats use specially developed shock absorbers such that the reversing feature is damped - this was a safety feature added to allow reversible seats which would contain passengers in the event of an accident. Detailed design of the train was completed in July 2009.
B2 (left) and A76 (right) at Revesby station
The B sets share more than 90 percent of their design with the original A sets. The trains' exterior is of the same design and construction, but feature a different livery of black, orange and silver wrap applied to the cabs, and side windows. Changes are more prominent internally; the B sets have upgraded computer systems and improved passenger technology, such as updated and additional digital passenger information displays throughout the interior.
Construction and delivery
A sets
A4 at Ashfield station
The joint venture between Downer EDi Rail and Hitachi was established to design, manufacture and commission the A sets. The stainless steel bodies were partially constructed by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles in China before being shipped to Downer EDI's Cardiff Locomotive Workshops facility in New South Wales for final assembly, testing and commissioning. The manufacturing facility at Cardiff received an upgrade of over $20 million to cater for the needs of the project. Other infrastructure works included the construction of the Auburn Maintenance Centre and new substations at various locations around the network.
A four car pre-production test train was built to test the train sub-systems and compatibility with the Sydney suburban network. This was intended to allow any issues with the train to be corrected before the production trains entered service. The test train was expected to perform trial runs from mid 2009, but did not begin network testing until April 2010. The pre-production train concluded testing in August 2010. The first production set began network testing in August 2010 and by November 2010, three sets were undergoing testing.
The first trains were scheduled to be introduced in late 2010, but a series of delays pushed back their introduction. The first train intended for service (A3) was delivered to then-operator CityRail for acceptance on 20 April 2011. CityRail had 20 business days to accept or reject the train, but a decision was postponed by two weeks to allow Downer EDi to correct further defects. CityRail rejected the train due to safety concerns and a number of defects. The defects included; 'milky' effect windscreens – apparent when under direct sunlight, poor-quality steel welding as evident in the indents seen on some areas of the carriage exterior, gaps in the plastic moulding, handrails not lining up with stairs and software problems.
Once the majority of the problems were resolved by Downer EDi, CityRail allowed A3 to commence service, though operating under special conditions. It entered service on 1 July 2011, operating its maiden run from Redfern to Macarthur via the City Circle and Airport. Initially, it operated two return services from the city to Macarthur via the Airport line during the off-peak period on weekdays, and all day on the Airport & East Hills and South lines on weekends. On 14 October 2011, A3 became the first Waratah set to operate during peak hours. As more Waratahs became available, the trains were progressively rolled out to most lines of the Sydney suburban network. On 2 June 2014, it was announced that the final A set (A80) had been delivered.
Originally, the Waratahs were intended to replace all 500 S set carriages, but in February 2013 it was revealed that some S sets would still be required in order to provide services on the South West Rail Link. An option existed to extend the order, but in March 2013 the government indicated it would not take this up.
B sets
B3 departing Panania
Despite proceeding with the intercity train order, the New South Wales Government announced on 1 December 2016 that 24 new suburban trains had been ordered. Known as the Sydney Growth Trains during development, the trains are officially classified as B sets.
The $1.7 billion contract was awarded to Downer EDI (now Downer Group). CRRC Changchun manufactured and assembled the trains in China on Downer's behalf. Upon arrival in Australia, the trains were taken to Downer's facility at Cardiff, where commissioning works were performed.
Downer Rail will maintain the trains for a minimum of 25 years. As many as 45 additional sets may be added to the order at a future date. The trains were originally to be based at the Mortdale Maintenance Centre, but in late 2017 it was decided that the trains would instead be based alongside the A sets at the Auburn Maintenance Centre. Nevertheless, work to upgrade the Mortdale Maintenance Centre continued.
Revamped LCD destination boards on a B set. Screens are also incorporated above the stairwell
The B sets incorporate improved air conditioning, accessibility and internal lighting, with new and revised features such as LCD Indicators and LCD video screens as well as more than 90 internal and external CCTV cameras. Upgrades to the train's computer systems are the most significant changes between the original A sets and the updated B sets. There are also various external livery and colour changes that differentiate the newer B sets from the original A sets.
The first B set to be delivered was unveiled to the media in March 2018. Set B2 was the first to enter revenue service on 7 September 2018, beginning with a run from Granville to Liverpool. On 18 September 2018, B2 became the first Waratah Series 2 to operate during peak hours. By June 2019, all the 24 B sets were delivered and had replaced the 48 remaining S sets.
In February 2019, a further 17 B sets were ordered, with the first two trains delivered to Australia in July 2020. The first of the 17 entered service in September 2020. By September 2020, B25 commenced service, making it the first arrival of the second and final order of the B sets. Further deliveries allowed for the retirement of the C sets. From April 2022, a software update was progressively rolled out across the digital destination boards of the B sets.
In service
Formation
The train's guards' compartment is located in the last driving carriage
The 625 carriages form 78 eight car sets (numbered A1, A3 to A78 and A80) with 1 spare driving car. Individual vehicles are numbered as follows:
A1: D6301-N5301-N5501-T6501-T6601-N5601-N5401-D6401
A3: D6303-N5303-N5503-T6503-T6603-N5603-N5403-D6403
up to
A41: D6341-N5341-N5541-T6541-T6641-N5641-N5441-D6441
A42: D6379-N5342-N5542-T6542-T6642-N5642-N5442-D6442
A43: D6343-N5343-N5543-T6543-T6643-N5643-N5443-D6443
up to
A78: D6378-N5378-N5578-T6578-T6678-N5678-N5478-D6478
A80: D6380-N5380-N5580-T6580-T6680-N5680-N5480-D6480
The inter-carriage doors feature a new mechanism for opening during an emergency, in response to Justice McInerney's Report into the Waterfall rail accident recommending the development of alternative emergency exits for passengers
The spare driving car is D6479. This was one of the first four carriages delivered, along with D6379 and scrapped duplicates of N5342 and N5442, and was part of the four car testing and development train. Car D6379 is now on set A42 replacing D6342.
The 328 B set carriages form 41 eight carriage sets. Individual vehicles are numbered as follows:
B1: D1101-N1701-N1901-T1301-T1401-N1801-N1601-D1201
up to
B41: D1141-N1741-N1941-T1341-T1441-N1841-N1641-D1241
The first 40 A sets were delivered to CityRail with the NSW Government's Waratah logo on each carriage. Following the formation of Sydney Trains in July 2013, these were replaced by the Sydney Trains logo and the sides of the train near the driver's cabs were covered with an orange wrap.
Waratahs currently operate on these lines:
T1 North Shore & Western Line: Berowra, Emu Plains or Richmond to City
T2 Inner West & Leppington: Leppington or Parramatta to City Circle via Granville
T3 Bankstown: Liverpool or Lidcombe to City Circle via Bankstown
T5 Cumberland: Leppington to Richmond
T7 Olympic Park: shuttle service from Lidcombe to Olympic Park on weekends and public holidays, special event services from Central to Olympic Park
T8 Airport & South: Macarthur to City Circle via Airport or Sydenham
T9 Northern Line: Hornsby to Gordon via Strathfield
In service incidents and accidents
On 12 March 2015, set A19 was driven more than 700 m (2,300 ft) in the wrong direction at Mount Druitt. At the time of the incident, a Pacific National freight train was travelling towards the train on the same line. The cause of the incident was likely attributed to driver fatigue, and prompted a review of train crew rostering policies. No passengers were onboard A19 at the time of the incident, and no injuries were reported as both trains were stopped in time.
On 20 March 2017, carriage N5508 on set A8 suffered an explosion in a traction inverter unit at Burwood. The cause was found to be a faulty capacitor in the inverter. The carriage was subsequently repaired and A8 later returned to service.
On 22 January 2018, Waratah A42 hit the buffers at the end of the track on platform 2 at an approximate speed of 35 kilometres per hour (22 mph) at Richmond station just before 10am. The train then lurched backwards, causing passengers who were readying to disembark, to fall and injure themselves. The impact caused extensive frontal damage, some of the carriages to lift and gangways between carriages to become crushed. The damage was such that the train could only be moved out of the platform after several days and it needed to be split into 2/3 carriage segments to be towed to Downer Rail at Cardiff. Sixteen patients in total, including the train driver and another crew member were treated. None of the injuries were considered life-threatening. Inspection of A42 was undertaken following the incident, with the train's event recorders taken for analysis and interviews being conducted with the train's crew. A42 has since been repaired and returned to service on 27 March 2019, with the driver carriage (D6342) that hit the stop buffer replaced with a spare from the prototype train (D6379).
On 5 September 2018, A18 hit and killed a man at Riverwood while he was illegally on the tracks.
The city-bound train A15 crashed into a trailer at Level Crossing Road at Vineyard, south of Windsor, about 5am on Thursday 25th of January 2024.
Criticism
Noise concerns
In 2021, residents in Waverton and Wollstonecraft complained about excessive squealing made by Waratah trains, relative to other trains in the fleet, as well as their horns. Sydney Trains responded that it was working to reduce noise in the area.
CRRC Uyghur slave labor scandal
Senior public servants have made three trips to the CRRC Changchun plant in June 2017, October–November 2017 and February 2018.[citation needed]
In September 2018, the NSW Government approved a request for two senior executives from Transport for NSW to visit the CRRC Changchun plant at an estimated cost exceeding $15,000.
In March 2020, a report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute highlighted 82 companies directly or indirectly using Uyghur slave labour.[citation needed] Included in this was KTK Group, a supplier to CRRC. The report indicated that this had been occurring since 2019.[citation needed]
A spokesperson for Downer said the company had investigated serious allegations in early 2020, and that CRRC strongly denied the use of Uyghur labour.[citation needed]
CRRC would be one of 11 companies placed onto a United States blacklist in July 2020.
In October 2020, Premier of New South Wales Gladys Berejiklian stated that she was concerned over the possibility of Uyghur slave labour being used. She would state that "Obviously we’re concerned with that and if there’s anything further we need to do I’m sure Transport for NSW will take that action," which prompted much opposition from the state opposition and union groups. -Anastasia the train girl I have to add that Gladys berejiklian is a super corrupt politician that is nicknamed kola killer
This one started out really interesting and then I got to the parts about slave labor, explosions, and crashes and suddenly the LED lights and smart air conditioning weren't that cool anymore lol.
I love reading these, trains are so fascinating

What’s Trending in the Global Portable Power Station Market?
Tumblr media
The global portable power station market is expected to witness growth due to rising power consumption. Modern lifestyles and the rising usage of consumer devices have significantly increased the dependence on power, due to which, cases of outage largely impact communities worldwide. While this largely holds true for rural areas of developing countries, even a developed nation like the United States faced record-breaking power outages in 2020, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
During such emergencies, a portable power station is pivotal for keeping important gadgets, such as medical equipment, smartphones, laptops, and other electronic appliances, charged and operational. Many power stations are equipped with both regular AC outlets and USB ports, which enables charging multiple devices at the same time. Besides, they are available in a compact size, which has further increased their demand.
Our experts at Triton Market Research estimate the global portable power station market to advance with a CAGR of 5.6% in the forecast years 2022-2028.
Key Trends Influencing the Portable Power Station Market Growth
Growing Use of Smart Electronic Devices
A surge in the number of internet users, enhanced usage of smart devices, and increasing disposable incomes in developed economies have led to the expansion of the global smart home market. Consequently, the use of consumer electronics, such as home intercommunication systems, refrigerators, microwave ovens, personal computers, laptops, video game systems, tablets, and smartphones, as well as smart wearables, such as smartwatches and VR headsets, has grown.
These devices are now equipped with smart connectivity features and attractive interfaces to enhance user convenience, which has also drastically increased their power consumption requirements. Portable power stations are thus being increasingly adopted to ensure uninterrupted power supply to run these devices.
Rise in Outdoor and Camping Activities
Changing lifestyles and attitudes, along with a growing preference for leisure and rising recreational spending, have encouraged consumers to participate in outdoor activities. After a record 14 million caravan & camping trips in Australia in 2019, the number had dropped to 10.6 million trips by December 2020, as a post-pandemic effect. However, the caravan & camping economy massively rebounded post 2020, accounting for 12.6 million trips and $7.4 billion in traveler expenditure.
This, in turn, has spurred the use of camping equipment, such as rechargeable trekking headlights, mini-fridges, camping lamps, electric lighters, etc., which require power to function. Along with these, laptops and mobile phones are also essential to stay connected while outdoors, which calls for the use of portable power stations. Australia is one of the top camping destinations in the world, which is expected to position the Asia-Pacific portable power station market on a growth path.
Market Limitations v/s Promising Solutions
A major blockade to market growth is that the functional capabilities of portable power stations are not as extensive as those of portable diesel generators. Also, comparatively, they require charging, which is less convenient and time-intensive. Besides, the high cost of internal batteries in portable power stations makes them more expensive.
However, the use of lithium-ion batteries reduces the operational cost of portable power stations considerably, as their raw material is easily available at affordable rates across key regions like Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and North America. Moreover, they have higher charging capacity than sealed lead-acid batteries, and are hence preferred for time-sensitive applications.
For instance, Jackery Inc’s Explorer 1500 is a lithium-ion battery-based portable power station known for its faster charging times. Furthermore, compared to sealed lead-acid battery-based portable power stations, Li-ion battery-based portable power stations are more efficient, easily available, easier to carry, and offer superior energy density & fire resistance. Their growing use will play a major role in driving the portable power station market.
FAQs:
Q 1) Which are the key segments covered in the market report?
The key segments in the portable power station market include battery type, capacity range, power source type, and usage type.
Q 2) Which is the key region in the global portable power station market?
North America is the leading region in the global market, which accounted for the highest revenue share in 2021 and is also expected to witness the fastest growth in the forecasted period.

However, the caravan & camping economy massively rebounded post 2020, accounting for 12.6 million trips and $7.4 billion in traveler expenditure.
This, in turn, has spurred the use of camping equipment, such as rechargeable trekking headlights, mini-fridges, camping lamps, electric lighters, etc., which require power to function. Along with these, laptops and mobile phones are also essential to stay connected while outdoors, which calls for the use of portable power stations. Australia is one of the top camping destinations in the world, which is expected to position the Asia-Pacific portable power station market on a growth path.
Market Limitations v/s Promising Solutions
A major blockade to market growth is that the functional capabilities of portable power stations are not as extensive as those of portable diesel generators. Also, comparatively, they require charging, which is less convenient and time-intensive. Besides, the high cost of internal batteries in portable power stations makes them more expensive.
However, the use of lithium-ion batteries reduces the operational cost of portable power stations considerably, as their raw material is easily available at affordable rates across key regions like Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and North America. Moreover, they have higher charging capacity than sealed lead-acid batteries, and are hence preferred for time-sensitive applications.
For instance, Jackery Inc’s Explorer 1500 is a lithium-ion battery-based portable power station known for its faster charging times. Furthermore, compared to sealed lead-acid battery-based portable power stations, Li-ion battery-based portable power stations are more efficient, easily available, easier to carry, and offer superior energy density & fire resistance. Their growing use will play a major role in driving the portable power station market.

2023 Toyota RAV4 update revealed for Japan Australia to follow
The Toyota RAV4 has received another update in Japan, ahead of Australian arrivals before the end of this year. 0 View 8 images The updated 2023 Toyota RAV4 has been revealed for Japan, ahead of Australian showrooms arrivals due by the end of 2022. After a handful of images of the updated 2023 RAV4 were published in Europe, it’s Toyota Japan’s turn to reveal elements of the updated model, which introduces a number of technology and safety updates to keep it fresh among newer rivals. Toyota dealers in Australia have been advised to expect price rises of $1500 to $3000, depending on the model – in addition to an inflation-related price rise of $1500 across all RAV4 variants from 1 January 2023. As reported by Drive previously, from 16 May 2022 Toyota dealers began advising customers the final price of their vehicle was subject to change due to model-year upgrades or increased manufacturing costs – and they are entitled to a refund of their deposit if they don’t agree with the new prices, or don’t want to wait. View 8 images View 8 images PreviousNext With wait times out to 18 months on some RAV4 variants, vehicles ordered today may not be the car that eventually arrives – passing through one or possibly two model-year upgrades, bringing with them more features which command a higher list price. As previously reported by Drive, all models gain new infotainment software, with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a smarter cloud-based satellite navigation system, and a ‘Hey Toyota’ voice assistant. It’s set to run on an 8.0-inch touchscreen in the entry-level GX and GXL models in Australia, while the XSE, Cruiser and Edge locally – or high-end models in Japan – are slated to adopt a new 10.5-inch touchscreen. View 8 images View 8 images PreviousNext There’s a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster – set to feature on Australian XSE, Cruiser and Edge variants – while the 7.0-inch instrument display previously in these models is slated to be added to the GX and GXL (replacing a 4.2-inch screen). Advanced safety technology improvements outlined by Toyota Japan include a revised autonomous emergency braking system capable of braking for oncoming vehicles in an intersection, or pedestrians crossing a side street the car is turning into. Japanese models also add a Nanoe-X air filtration system and a “recording function” for the available digital rear-view mirror as new for 2023 – but these aren’t believed to be on the cards for Australia for the time being. Toyota dealers have been advised of further upgrades to Australian RAV4s not listed in the Japanese announcement, including an emergency steer assist safety feature, and support for the Toyota Connected Services suite of connected-car features, powered by a smartphone app. USB-C ports are slated to replace USB-A sockets across the range in Australia, while the flagship Edge is set to gain upgraded LED projector headlights.
