No u are not interested in debating the reason behind the  "poor service"  u
are just happy to have a moan....

Well right to MR. Carr and his mob and ask why nearly every cent of state
money is being spent at Homebush Bay.... Don't single out countrylink
workers for your vicious uninformed attacks

Well that makes u ignorant and intolerant to the situation

As i said.... North Coast services run 92% OK..... Now ... I'm wonderin who
is slow on the uptake now...  earlier  u spoke of semantics (read
availability and maintainance of sets) and all of a sudden u mention
maintainance and cleanliness of airplanes... must suit yre argument huh?

service,

with the equipment supplied the service is fine..... U point the finger at
the wrong pple... point it at the government of this state

These trains are glorified commuter trains is all... they are not meant for
this sort of work...

Old question..... where is the money coming from.
