Re: How can we make trains run later?

nice to hear shittyrail have got their act together and followed a QR
Citytrain initiative (excuse me if theres another in Aus who thought of it
first), as far as i see it, i dont think this system is a problem with your
late running trains, as QR have had similiar systems in place for a few
years now, and majority of services are well on time up here.  So i wouldnt
go blaming safety systems for NSW incompetance!  I always laugh at the lack
of times on indicator boards, anouncements, etc. when i go down there.  is a
cityrail train ever on time?? *shrug* dont ask me, but the small sample i
have taken from the batch doesnt really support the negative arguement!  If
i were you, i'd look into other avenues before shooting off about systems
designed for safety which will purely make trains later.. this sort of
attitude is what causes the accidents in the first place!
