First time in over a year. Very pleasant on the 8.35am express on the way up…

But cattle class on the 3.22pm from Central on the way back. Standing room only in a FOUR CAR train from the get-go at Central, and the following photo is at Wollongong AFTER the train had emptied many passengers!

See New train timetable: standing room only in The Illawarra Mercury 1 November 2013. Today did have a large contingent of school children returning to various Illawarra stations after The National Young Leaders Day in Sydney. But a four car train? Absurd.
