A METOObie remark here, my parents got caught up in this mess last week, 
and aparently got stuck for about 2 hours, having just come off the airport 
line. What a nice way to present a rail company to two interstate 
travellers (: Found out this evening when I asked dad how the airport line 
was then came the saga of what was quoted as a compressor failing at a set 
of points, which would beg to say that these points were air assisted.
