Thu 11 August - A lucky break...

At 06:30 I get an SMS to say the 07:14 is cancelled - I suppose that's the logical progression after the delays. That would've been too late to do anything about it, but I have a doctor's appointment this morning so I was not intending to catch it anyway!

I end up on the 10:17, which is more or less on time... until we have the customary two minute wait in the Flinders Street yards.

On the 17:49 coming home. It's on time. I have to say that if I have a choice between mucking around with the inbound trains or the outbound trains, I'll take the outbound trains running smoothly every time. Having the inbound trains slightly disrupted is a small price to pay!
