But CityRail said the Monday morning and afternoon peak cancellations were also due to a drop in the number of drivers prepared to work overtime. Eighty-eight CityRail services are cancelled until Friday, with 23 of them falling within the peak morning and evening periods. www.theage.com.au /articles/2004/02/09/1076175104142.html   (353 words)

CityRail Driver Identification Guide (Light-Hearted Humour)! As you know, railway operations from a train crewing perspective are set up so that wherever a lot of trains start their journeys, or at places where there are major junctions or yards, there will usually be a crew depot established there (but not always). The following drawings were prepared by a CityRail driver who shall remain nameless (!), but the tongue-in-cheek way they are drawn is just so good I felt they deserved wider recognition. CityRail, is located in an area which has a unique identifiable local culture depending on the geographic location and/or the type of people which live in that area. www.railzone.org /depots.html   (237 words)

Catch-22 I'd have set 3 alarm clocks with a gap of 30 mins between their set times. The brilliant logic (another of those masterpieces which consistently arise from my intellect) behind this is that, given the human being's inherent unwillingness to obey alarm clocks, the first two alarms would serve as means to satisfy one's ego, and one would need to wake up at the third alarm only. That meant we had to catch the CityRail at 7:10am. dlc22.blogspot.com   (11844 words)

CityRail The State's railway system quickly expanded from the outset with lines radiating from Sydney and Newcastle into the interior of New South Wales, with frequent passenger railway services in the suburban areas of Sydney and Newcastle along with less frequent passenger trains into the rural areas and interstate. CityRail also operates several intercity services which terminate at Central Station (though some services operate in the metro-style portions of the system in the peak hours).
