Apparently the local kids were using this station as their local haunt ....
but not anymore. Its a pity that this idea has NOT bee tried at more
stations, particularly on the Bankstown Line
Your train was leaving?

By playing leider and mostly chamber music ala 2mbs FM would be enough to give
anyone the poop's
Is it my imagination, or is every thread shanghaied by the Mexicans or banana
benders.
I don't know about this being the SM's experiment - it was trialled
successfully at about 20 stations last year (I think some were Emu Plains,
Penrith, Blacktown, Central to name a few). "Technical difficulties"
prevented its immediate introduction (something about copyright?).

No, it's not your imagination, we're slowly taking over. Viva la Mexicans.
What is it with you Septics ?
I've not heard other passenger comment on the matter, it would be interesting
to know what they think.
