Re: Cityrail Delays

["Dirty Harry" <bassetts@ihug.com.au>]

The reason why the cronulla line got yo-yos was to provide a service and
isolate delays  especially with the two single line sections as once trains
are late crossing margins are very diffcult to maintain. Considering your a
cityrail employee you don't understand too much about how the system works.
Maybe you should go up to Operations or Train Control and see just what is
involved instead of you narrow minded opinions.
