Yes but what do you expect from those fools at Glenfield!
I was working a City via Granville running about 4 late. The train from East
Hills was running 8 late. The train on the back platform (1) was a city via
granville due to depart 10 min after us if we were on time. Those idiots held us
until the East Hills train came and all 1 passenger came over. We departed 9 min
late thus delaying the trains behind us.
