Small trains for big day
Cityrail have done it again.
I was one of the supporters who went to Sydney for the grand final and, encouraged by the price of train travel, took the train from Woy Woy to Strathfield.
To my amazement, CityRail had allocated the 11.58am a four-car set.
That's right: a four-car set on grand final day in school holidays.
It was that packed with footy fans and school holidayers you couldn't even walk down the aisle to get to the toilet.
And it was no different on the way home.
We got the train about 9.30pm from Strathfield to be greeted with another packed four-car set that stopped at all stations.
Can you believe it?
Our trains to the Central Coast now provide the all stations service between Hornsby and Gosford.
Are they complete imbeciles?
The Local Member does absolutely nothing about it.
I bet she doesn't get the train every day.
Bring on the State election.
The sooner we are a swinging-independent seat the better, I say.
