Re: Violence on Sydney trains
Just wait until you get sued. When the drunk belts you in the head, what are
you going to do ?
Also in my experience I have always noticed that the guards and drivers are
pretty vocal in their trains, but once they are out of the protection of the
cabin, they want the Chubb Guards or the police to help them.
Have you ever told a group of islanders to get of the train ?
Probably just little children, and little old ladies, good on you superman
