This morning, the 10:32 Penrith-Sydney Terminal (09:07 ex- Mt Victoria)
V set arrived at 10:37. The doors were locked upon arrival, and two
Police were waiting on the platform.
I heard the driver tell the Police that some guy in a black beanie
walked right into his cab and threatned him that he "was going to derail
another train". The police and driver searched the train, while the
guard made a few announcements as to why we were being delayed ("due to
security reasons"). Train departed at 10:40 (8" late).
Arr/Dep Blacktown 10:53 (5" late)
Westmead 10:59/11:00 (6" late)
Parramatta 11:02/11:03 (5" late)
(Crawled thru Granville and stopped half way along platform 1)
(Stopped at Lidcombe platform 1, Plasma screens working).
(Crawled thru Flemmo-Strathfield and crossed over to the Up
Suburban track).
Strathfield 11:20/11:21 (11" late)
Sydney Terminal 11:36 (13" late)
Were any other aus.railer's on the train West of Penrith? I'm just
curious as to where this incident occured. The driver also mentioned
something about Springwood.
