Re: [Syd] Cityrail crackdown on homeless people.

["Rod Gayford" <rjaygee@eisa.net.au>]

By the appearance of some of the trains that originate from Lavender Bay
sidings it appears that City Rail staff are hiring out the parked trains to
the homeless that frequent that area. These trains on arrival at Wynyard are
full food wrappers, take away drink cups, beer bottles and just generally
look like a city street after new years eve celebrations.
