Thanks for the news!
Without suggesting a hijack, I might imagine that if this had happended in
Sydney [Ci*tyra*il], we would have seen by now ...
* A front-page article in a News Ltd tabloid
* A demand that a Transport Minister resign
* A ministerial response that rail authority chiefs, carpeted, should be
ashamed of themselves
* an aus.rail posting from near wyong on how one contributors train was
delay
* Three aus.rail postings from Penrith about how no "V" set was delayed
* A new URL for something like hillbaytrains.sux.org.tv
It's nice to know that in civilised places, a railway can have the
occasional in inevitable stuff-up without any allegations that the sky has
fallen in!
