Re: CityRail on-time plan slipping

Yes quite right, they were late, however,
Teddy hears a dash of the old train crew brilliance
coupled with good minded passengers saw the south coast train getting them

Train crew says
Show Me The Light
The Light 2 GO
Gimme The Time,
The Time To Recover
Or Else
Cry Me A River
Like No Other
P.S Payup or walk!!
Or even better get busted  with no ticket!!!
The only job you lost,
was the head job you were going to give yourself.
