weekday, during school hollidays or whatever

But you get what you pay for... try a coach, they pull up every now and then
and give you a feed, otherwise it is non stop boredom... at least on a train
u are able to get up walk around have a cuppa if ya want when ya want...

I am not talkin about customer service, that is where U miss the point.. I
am talkin about operational matters that cause trains to run late... and
frankly I dont care whether they care or not, all ya can do is inform them,
it is up to them to be reasonable..

Hope I am there to help you enjoy your trip and maybe enlighten you a wee
bit..

Because of the people Countrylink carry, First Class is *way* better than
ecconomy, whenever there is trouble on the train it usually comes from
ecconomy, so there is a benefit that U are not subject as a rule to unruly
behaviour...

Mylo, I will comment on anything I wish old mate... I feel that until *you*
understand how a railway operates, you should think about what you are sayin
b4 having a spray, but it is your right to make uninformed comments, as it
my right to respond... I dont like what you had to say, but i respect your
right to say it.. How about respecting mine... and by the way, have a look
at the smartarse name of the thread and you might get an inkling as to why I
get a bit annoyed as comments such as yours.. and yes I know you didnt name
the thread..

Cheers
Jack
