And I don't rate the times I have woken up in Oatley car sheds as genuine
rail-enthusiast experiences, either.

A pal of mine, who was similarly disposed to nod off on the journey home
after fulsome activity in the city regularly used to wake up in Hornsby car
sheds. He had it down to a routine and thought he knew the way from the
sheds to the Hornsby cab rank, so he didn't have to think about it too much.
One night he went into his oh no here we go again routine and was walking
along the tracks. For the sake of the story it was probably drizzling
lightly as well. He walked and walked. He thought "Hornsby station is
further from the sheds than I remember". Finally he saw the lights on the
platform, onto which he struggled. The station sign read "Asquith".
