My travelling was somewhat less exciting, Penrith to Parramatta return. The
highlight of the trip was watching a stoned/drunk guy drop his small satchel
of marijuana on the floor and quickly recover it thinking no one had
noticed. The return train was less eventfull but more packed then the usuall
peak hour service..My saving: 3.80 (31.9 km).
