Losing weight on The Ghan.

["Exnarc" <gwrly@netspace.net.au>]

A woman yesterday rang 3LO's Terry Laidler show complaining about the Ghan.

She told of a trip to Alice Springs she and her husband made recently.

The train arrived at Spencer Street (Time tabled about 10pm) at about 0230
(am), Intending passengers were left at the Station with no access to food,
or other facialty (except for blue light tiolets) in the cold for over 4
hour.

The train departed 4 hours late and remained 4 hours late all the way to the
Alice.

She said that she was a diabetic and required food regulaly and whilst the
meals on board were good they were so small she required extra food, she
offered to pay for the additional food but was told that they didn't sell
food (its all in the fare) however the crew went out of their way to arrange
some sandwiches for her.

She asked them what if other passengers wanted extra food and was told: "We
don't carry enough food to supply everyone other than what is required for
the normal bookings"

Isn't it wonderfull.

SERCO at work.

The more I hear about this company, the more I'm greatfull they didn't get
any Victorian railway.
