Re: "customers" demand an extra carriage

Of course I have. As I said at the top, I received that text in a pamphlet
from a fellow passenger. I am not a regular passenger on that train. One of
the things that did alarm me was the train was so full that two passengers
chose to take a risk and ride between the carriages.

The fact that this train gets heavily used also reinforces a report Cityrail
released recently stating that the peak hour has spread into 3 different
mini peaks spread over 3 hours. (I can't remember where I read that was it
here or elsewhere?).
