Another year another train dilemma
It’s not even the end of January and already the trains are buggered. Apparently this week, CityRail has informed us that there is some urgent trackwork that needs to be completed. Therefore “All trains are not running to timetable order”. Instead the timetable has been changed to an “Emergency Timetable with trains running (supposedly) 15 minutes apart.” Well that’s what CityRail tells us.
Marrickville is approximately 8 kilometres south west from the Sydney’s CBD and 7km by train to central station. When trains to run on time it normally takes me 40 minutes to get to work door-to-door. It should be an efficient way to travel.
Yet why does it feel like such a battle to get to work everyday? I tell you what though, I feel sorry for the poor buggers that have to get on at St Peter’s and Erskineville. By the time the sardine packed train arrives at their respective stations they’re stuffed!
