Re: And the guard on the 1655hrs ex Central Fri 8/12/2000 .......

["R.F.Horgan" <rfhorgan@bigpond.com>]

Today I was involved in a police operation at Lidcombe.
They were trying to find a bag snatcher on my train. I announced over the PA
we were delayed at the problem while waiting for the signals to change. The
Police told me to close the doors while they investigated.

 They caught him!!
