[SYD] You know the Olympic Games are really over when .....

[carrington <consultancy@optushome.com.au>]

Wollongong train details start to (re)appear on the departure vid
screens at Central station

It's not yet 11pm - and already Hungry Jacks on Central station is
closed

There's plenty of staff still around on Central station, but none of
them are saying "Hello" to you or smiling .... and they're all armed
with a broom and dirty cleaning cloth

Now that passengers should be paying fares, there is only one freely
open ticket barrier on Central station ..... but it is unstaffed

You're still doing some volunteer Olympic work, but you're the only
one in the carriage wearing one of "those" shirts

You get off a train at Central station and you can go to the *nearest*
escalator, and take the *shortest* walking distance between 2 points
(and not be directed on a long one-way route-march requiring a cut
lunch and a water bottle just to get from A to B)

You pass City bound trains at night which are only 4 cars long .....
and 2 of those are locked up and blacked out.
