·  The pages are loading slowly!

Sometimes this is the nature of the internet. If it's really bugging you, scroll to the bottom of any page and click "Switch to narrowband theme". This feature is still experimental, and not as pretty - but it should speed things up.

·  Who pays for Railpage Australia and where do my donations go?

Railpage Australia is operated not-for-profit and is staffed on a voluntary basis, and relies on donations from users and industry to survive. We recieve generous donation of bandwidth from Digital River Networks and Interactive Omnimedia, however we rely on donations from the public to meet some of the bandwidth cost, as well as the cost of new hardware and administration. 100% of donations go directly toward meeting the cost of running Railpage, with our generous corporate sponsors meeting the rest.
