Is this the station you work at? I sometimes catch trains from here of a
morning, If im lazy, sleep in and don't have enough time to walk to
Toongabbie.

I must say that the times I've chosen to use the ticket counter at Seven
Hills its been a delightfully quick service. I don't think I've ever had
to wait in a queue, or at worst I was 2nd in line. Mind you this is at
about 6:30am, so not sure if thats busy time at "sevo" or not.

So yeah the service behind the counter for tickets is good there,
probably because its a busy station. Having said that, I wouldn't want
to be stuck behind someone making a booking that is really a countrylink
booking.

You don't really need to state this as nothing on your posting details
indicates you're from Cityrail. (looks to me you're a fellow ihug
sufferer).
