Where I live, most suburbs have a train station. But for me to get to the city, to get to Sydney, there's a train during the day, most often only once per hour, which can be really difficult. I used to go to university in Sydney, and in the morning, I'd have a onec-per-hour train and on the way home I'd have a once-per-hour train. So if I missed that, I was in a bit of trouble. During peak times, when people are going to or from work, the trains run a little bit more frequently, but not quite. We do have a reasonable bus service, I don't really use the bus service, so I'm not a hundred percent sure what that looks like in my area.

Well, HBO has confirmed what Game of Thrones fans never wanted to hear. The fantasy-thriller phenomenon will be coming to an end after Season 8. Recently, HBO renewed the series, adapted from George R. R. Martin's novels, for a shortened seventh season consisting of seven episodes, while the eighth season will bring the saga to a close - the number of episodes for the last cycle not yet determined. Game won't be back with its seventh season until next summer, missing the deadline for the 2017 Emmy competition, which it routinely dominates. Last year, Game of Thrones scored a dozen Emmys.
