Re: them cityrail moments
yesterday was a travel disaster for me and my friend lol. we got our return ticket to parra in the morning, and went through the booth to wait for the train... but it wasnt coming for another 15 minutes so we decided to go to the westfield accross the road. i put my ticket in the booth to go back out, and it ate it up
so i had to get the cityrail lady, who was a grumpy bitch, to get it out for me, and she explained that it had already been used so it wont work anymore.... but i wasnt about to get a new fkn ticket!
so yeah after we went to westfield, we realised we had 2 minutes to get back to the station!!! we ran, and just as we got on the platform the doors closed and the train left
so we had to wait another 5 minutes for the next train....
when we got to parra, because my ticket didnt work i had to follow my friend through the ticket gate quickly when she put hers in.... however i wasnt quick enough, and almost got stuck between the little door things, so i had to jump over them and bruise my leg in the process.
later that day on the way home, the ticket gate/booth things were a lot busier, however there was a transit officer there
but he became distracted by another person, so my friend put her ticket in and i followed her through the gate quickly and smoothly this time
when we got back to our station, we had to take the bus home- and then my friend realises she has absolutely no change left. i check my wallet, and ive only got $1.85 for her. so we were like, wtf are we gonna do... and so we started looking around the ground for 25 cents >_< so embarassing. then some guy comes up to us and asks us if we LOST something! and my friend goes "nah... we just need 25 cents" so the guy gave us 50c and said keep the change >.< i felt like such a scab... anywhoo, we waited at the bus stop because our 4:10pm bus was about to come any minute.... it still hadn't come at 4:30 so we were like wtf.... check the timetable at the bus stop, and apparently the bus came at 3:45, even though my friends book with the timetables said 4:10pm. and the next one wasnt coming for another hour >.<
so we went back to the westfield opposite the station for a while, then had to get her mum to pick us up from the station
