Re: The train makes a strong case for the car

["Peter Berrett" <pberrett@optushome.com.au>]

I read this article in The Age

How our mighty public transportation system has fallen! Once upon a time
there were dedictaed gardening staff that planted beautiful flowers and
trees along the sides of rail lines. A dim reminder remains along parts of
the Belgrave/Lilydale line.

It could be worse however as anyone who has ever ridden the diesel suburban
service in Auckland will attest.It is a struggle to find a timetable and the
trains run less often again.
