 Sydney's rail woes set to continue - - http://www.theage.com.au
CityRail spokeswoman Helen Willoughby said this week's cancellations were because more drivers had indicated they would not work overtime.
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.

 CityRail Driver Identification Guide (Light-Hearted Humour)!
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.
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.

 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.
