Re: Hornsby Yard

["Jane Campbell" <janecampbell@optusnet.com.au>]

Not that I'm trying to go one better but the delay slip left for me from the
Hornsby "leg" of the trip to Richmond read 27 late and by the time we got
there we were 43 late.  Got blocked three times on the up and arrived 41
late.  What a good guard I must be.....I made up 2 minutes!!  Hehehe.  I
think the source of the problem was a failed goods train.


Regards to all

Most trains that ran from Hornsby (via Shore or Main line) around 2-4pm were
late. The 3:16pm from Hornsby via Main line was 30min late!

Yard working!

Sounds as if the train on one platform was a failure.
