Re: Countrylink named as World's Worst Passenger Service

Hi,

How I agree. If only something was done to kick the crap passengers off the
train in the middle of nowhere. The standard of passenger behaviour needs to
be addressed urgently. Though last year we did Wellington in a day (4 of us
on full normal fares), and on the way back my 13 year old daughter made a
comment about noisey electronic games some aboriginal boys were playing and
the father started abusing us all and started with the reverse racist  crap
and physical violent threats (Don't you just love travelling on
CountryLink). Anyway this couldn't go on so I went over to this guy, he was
not pissed, and introduced myself to him and agreed totally with him about
land rights and how it hurt me also how many of his past rellies were
murdered and we continued the trest of the trip as total friends with an
invitation to me to go on a visit with him in the future to some scared
family and spiritual sites. It was a special friendship formed from crap
behaviour on a CountryLink service.
