The young lady on the left was coming over to tell me I “couldn’t take any pictures here”. I told her she was wrong, and shouldn’t believe everything she was told by idiot control freak straw bosses.

For some reason the flangeways are filled with bitumen hot mix - it must be some narky requirement imposed by RMS till the line opens. Then I rode home via Cleveland St, Abercrombie St and the Glebe Island bridge. I’ll check out the activity in Devonshire St soon.
