Cityrail is evil
Today as I was feeling ill, I was on a train. The train was a Gosford service down the North Shore Line which went to Hornsby and then in theory Woy Woy and Gosford. The whole trip they made announcments saying this. I’m always on the look out for Asquith trains too. I get off the train at Hornsby to get the supposed Berowra train 5 mins after this one and I see that on the indicator board it says Asquith…I don’t trust those boards and besides the guy on the train just said Woy Woy next stop. No one said anything on the station. So the train went off merrily. I couldn’t see a Berowra train on the board which I thought was a bit odd considering at Central 5 mins after thios train was an all stops to Berowra. I went up to check and the next service was in 16 mins. I was very very very angry. Not only had they changed it without telling me, that had cancelled the other train. I didn’t fancy the wait, which the guy at Hornsby didn’t seem to think was that bad ( I suppose when you’ve done that 600 times in the course of my lifetime you get a bit sick of it), so I walked home. It annoys me because it actually was there fault. Normally the people at Hornsby can’t have done much. But this ultiumately was there fault and they brushed it off telling me, there probably was an announcement and that I just hadn’t heard it because it was noisy. Stupids idiots. When will they learn they are wrong.

I walked home today as well because I had lunch in Hornsby. You could have come and eaten lunch with Tom, Anmol and me.
