How prophetic.

CityRail's 1357 Bundanoon - Campbelltown service left Bundanoon spot on time
today.  Half a dozen Sydney bound Countrylink passengers watched it go and
waited for their service due 22' later.

The 1419 service to Sydney from Canberra/Griffith was 45' late (talk about
happy campers waiting to join).  To top it off they were all booked in the ex
Griffith portion, the last 2 cars of the 5 car service so they all had to trek
100m down the platform to join.

What's the holding tolerance for either portion of this train to be held at
Goulburn if the other portion is late?
