Oh what fun it is too ride...

Are the trains in Sydney ever going to get there act together?
Yesterday I was siiting outside the sheds near Asquith for 30mins
inside a train that had only small windows. I felt sorry for a pregnant
lady who had to sit in this while her husband was ringing her on the
mobile every 5 minutes.
The guard stated it was a track failure. What sort was it? There were
no work crews fixing any section of track. Anyhow people were
commenting how bad the service is getting.
It only got better this morning. Who ever was driving the 7.20am train
from Berowra down the North Shore was obviously on something. He came
into Mt Colah the slowest I have seen any train. And this was a
Tangara. We then took off for Asquith. Asquith sailed by with the
driver slamming on the brakes then reversing back to Asquith.Some of
the People, who were on yesterdays train, were on this one a started
laughing and shaking heads. Every station he pulled in far too slow,
tried to stop at artarmon and wollstonecraft etc when he wasn't meant
to. Tried to get around the tight turns past St leonards at a far
greater speed than supposed to. To top it all off the airconditioning
stopped for 15mins. It was getting hard to breathe and people were
getting stressed. Especially the older passengers.
When will this madness end?
I'll just have to wait until this afternoon.
