Re: Cityrail Delays

["Steve" <pracys@eisa.com.au>]

I suppose for once there was a bit of planning and intelligent thoughts out
of operations control!!!!!!!!!!!
That does not happen very often.
The norm is for out of control transposing of services...........that is
when the nightmare starts......wrong crews on the wrong services no relief
for this and that service.....then no crew for the one on 25 platform
furthering delays......Then the wrong sets on the wrong runs that in turn
impact on the next peaks running 6 cars where 8 should be thus affecting
amalgamations and divides throughout that sets zig zag.
If they only left things alone in most cases the system would sort it self
out with few long delays.
It is only major f$%k ups that require the transpose everything mentality!!!
