Re: [NSW] Closing ceremony transport

All the trams kept getting overloaded and some people were too arrogant to
get off even though we were'nt going to move anywhere whilst they were there
and all services from Central had minimal if any standing space, all were
8car sets that I saw. The crowd at Central around midnight trying to get to
the suburban platforms was unbelievable. Most services up in the top side of
the suburban appeared to be going to Ashfield and Campbelltown.
