Friday night, Central Station, I'm on the 8.15pm Newcastle express. It leaves on time. We're 50m out from the platform when the train stops.
"Excuse me ladies and gentleman. If there are any train drivers on board could they please make their way to the guard's compartment".
The carriage giggles. The train stutters a little further and stops again.
15 minutes later - "We've fixed the problem and will be on our way shortly".
Train starts moving and stops again after about 5m.
"It appears that we haven't fixed the problem".
Thankfully its Friday night, I've had a couple of beers and have the latest ASL DVD. :)
