Re: What's with cityrail?

["Hubert Lam" <hubert@imap4.com>]

some drivers on the up main north have no idea. They stop when they're not
supposed to...like Denistone and stations south of Parramatta River, even
though the guard may have already told them (rather loudly as I can hear it
in the 8th car) at Denistone when the train is slowed to a halt.

Some guards are just as dopey. They open the doors when it's not supposed to
stop. So what happens? The whole train is delayed 10-15min because it wasn't
supposed to stop at 5 stations and it did.
