For the second time this week there were no trains on the Sydenham line. That's the one that ends at Watergardens station way out west.
Both outages occurred due to bozos being hit by trains. My outrage is directed squarely at Metro for having a wholly inadequate plan B for this scenario. Eventually a couple of crappy old buses turned up to ferry us poor sods to a place where the trains were running. The driver hardly seemed to know what he was doing. Lets couple that with the facts of heavy traffic and cold and that you need ten buses to cover the loss of one train. Hopeless.
Point two is that the hub and spoke train network means that alternatives are just not present. Maybe the first home builder's bonus could've been spent on some new railways. Nah you idiot voters love the bribes!
Rant ends.
