The trains were mental today. Nothing was working. The stations, the people, the trains were all ready to just freak out and give up all together.
Firstly Town Hall station staff were stopping people enter the platforms until arrivals had left the platform. Only those arrivals couldn't get off the platform for all the people waiting to get on the platform...
Then when the trains arrived they were not only already full to the brim but because everyone had been delayed getting to the platform, they were stampeding like cattle to get onto the next train.
I only got my train because a fat lady realized that she wasn't going to fit on the stuffed carriage and gave up the 20cm x 10cm gap to me.
After a classy sprint to my next train at Central, the train home stopped and started the whole way back. The train driver was either stupid or amusing himself by giving updates over the intercom that were just too quiet to hear.
After the third update, as we were all straining to listen, one lady broke and yelled:
SPEAK UUUUUP!
After an hour and a half on the train, I googled 'what is wrong with Sydney trains today?'
The first site that came up was 'Welcome to CityRail'.
The only person I saw who wasn't trying to make their own situation worse by grumbling and moaning was this little girl. Her state of complete sleep in her father's arms really made me smile.
