I have only been challenged twice, once at Roma St and once at Maitland.

The Maitland incident deserves a mention, since I was waiting for NR4 on
its first test run. I heard a half hearted "Can I help you there mate?"
from behind me. I just happened to be wearing a Goninan cap, so when the
CityRail person saw it an my camera, and NR4 coming around the corner from
Telarah, he just said "never mind".
