Re: [NSW] Trouble on cityrail train/police

["Daniel Bowen" <dbowen@custard.REMOVE.net.au>]

In Victoria it's 11444, but it's the same as dialling 000 and then asking
for the police.

On mobiles you can dial 112. This has the advantage that it will work on any
available network, even one your SIM is barred from normally using. Useful
if you were, say, in the Melbourne city loop, where only Optus users can
normally make calls.
