Are Hunter line trains ie Newcastle to Maitland considered InterUrbans??
And yes, on that note, even the InterUrbans to/from Sydney that we've caught
have all been at least 5 minutes late.
Mind you, it would probably help if they left on time. When I was catching
one from Newcastle to the uni one day, it was scheduled to leave at 10:03.
10:00, the driver rocks up and unlocks the cab. 10:02, driver gets out of
train and lights up a durry. 10:03, driver puts durry down on fence, comes
back on train, then gets off again to finish it. 10:04 driver goes for a walk
back down the platform. 10:06 driver comes back up platform, flicks durry
away into bin. Guard comes up to driver and says "when you're ready". 10:07
train actually leaves, already behind the 3 minutes before it's even started
its journey. Now, where can it pick that up?
