To Kal station, dropped of the car and left the keys at the station office. A bright and early 07:05 departure for Perth, ETA 13:45.

Later: running a bit late. Passenger challenges guard how could a train scheduled to arrive at 1:45 in fact arrive at 2:20? He says “if you remember we had to stop for a while outside Tammin (to wait for a freight train) and we can’t guarantee arrival time unfortunately”. “That’s appallingly”, says she. “Well if you think that’s bad, last week we had a service arrive 7 hours late”. “I know” she says, “I was on that one too”. “Well you’re the common denominator then” says the guard and walks off triumphant.Läs mer
