heyy when i went to buy my ticket this morning to the city i received a nasty surprise.. $4.00 grrr and the train was completely packed with people.. i know people are going to the CBD to work and all but fare rises.. and it's not good considering that on my way back home..
the train was stationary after passengers from Homebush boarded the train and then i find myself staring at my watch, with my friends complaining that he is gonna be late for work.
Then we received an announcement to get off the train, i was wondering what was going on. I then saw people looking towards the front carriage of the train. i asked someone what happened she told me that she was in the first carriage and the train derailed... this was me :jaw:and this was my friend:mad1: but then i told him that "at least you don't have to work now because you can tell your boss your train got stuffed lol or derailed.
At first i thought there was a punch on/brawl in the first carriage because of the large numbers of police officers rushing through the platform but yeah soon found out it derailed.
LOL the look on my friend was priceless when his :mad1: look turned to a
.
So then we received an announcement to go to platforms 2 and 3 and police sealed of access to platforms 5 and 6 with the police tape.
so i waited a good 10-15 minutes for a train back home from platform 3. grrrrr
annoying it was so hot...
To keep on topic, i believe Cityrail handled the situation fine. i got back home, most of the people were like this :mad1: "how am i going to get to work?" "how am i going to get home?" but yeah Cityrail handled it fine, i got back home and i am glad i wasn't in the first carriage. The people who came out of there some of them looked like they just got slapped.
However $4.00 for this.. i don't think so. hmph.
