[NSW] Adverse publicity for CityRail



Hi everyone

Tonight's (Sunday) news on TV One (NZ) contained a short item about Olympic
Transport (taxis, buses, and trains).  I'm sorry to record that the negative
publicity that you've mentioned before is being carried overseas.  The
section on trains seemed to be completely negative, highlighting the
statistic of one derailment per week.  Video clips were of a train or two in
the dirt and an overcrowded platform at one of the underground stations.  In
the case of buses, they emphasised the (lack of) speed.  Mentioned that
travel by bus for some athletes to their venues takes up to three hours.
