Well the airlines know that if you give crap servie there is another
airline you can use. It's a pity there isn't competition on the
cityrail network!! What what can you expect from outdated technology in
a public service?
Wasn't the long delays while they put the new signals in on the North
shore suppose to make it quicker? Only thing it has done is instead of
stoppping outside the high school waititng to get in at hornsby it has
moved up a few hundred metres.

In peak times we only get two trains an hour!! So don't give me that
crap.

Well you have pretty big windows that open properly, you have the doors
you can open, I bet you have a good amount of airflow coming in. Plus
you get paid, we have to pay.

hen there wouldn't be a need for the rail, services would decrease and
you would be out of a job.
How can you get kiled in peak hour traffic? More chance of that on a
train at the moment. Speaking for Asian drivers, the guy driving the
train that missed Asquith looked asian or does cityrail only employ
white aussies?

Nearly...

A strike yes another reason while the bloody thing should be a public
company. Do you know how much shit that caused just because people in
your organisation (if we can call it that as it isn't organised) wanted
a few more bucks in the wallet? If I did that in my job I'd be shown
the door.

Yes yes, upper management etc etc. The government yes yes. I wasn't
attacking individuals that drivers, guards etc. I have friends who
drive and I have the greatest respect for them. The matter is that
cityrail provide a service and we expect to get what we pay for. Sure a
train delayed by five minutes is nothing, but when you get delays over
30mins that happens almost twice a day and drivers missing stops and
derailing, something has to be done. I've only been back at work two
weeks since christmas and I've been delayed every afternoon and
involved in a de-railment.
You my friend, with your huge union movement, should get things rolling
to improve the service. Start striking if that what it takes to get the
service better, I'd be behind you on that one. Or are you like most
public servants......?
