Re: Drunk cityrail driver

On this topic, I should point out that in NSW, Transit Police are part of
the NSW Police as a specialist unit, just like the Water Police (to give one
example). They have the same powers as any other police but they specialise
in transport crime. It is interesting for some to note that many of the
Transit Police units have at least one marked Police vehicle which they can
use as well as using the trains if need be and these vehicles to the naked
untrained eye are exactly the same as regular Police vehicles.
