[under the radar]

weekend 'trackwork/maintenance' happens quite often on this line..lots of 'upgrading of infrastructure' going on (I live in Wolli Creek)...but a bit surprised they doing this on a 'long weekend' and end of school hols!!!...or maybe I shouldn't be surprised they are doing this!!!

Much cheaper if going to/from airport - no gate fee (or indeed any fee) on replacement buses

ahhhh...every cloud does have a sliver lining!!

The bus service did its job, got me from A to B (Domestic to Central) without too much hassles. And Yes, being free made it easier on the pocket A different way to see Sydney CBD as you travelled through the back streets and the endless amount of traffic lights (Stop-Start-Stop-Start...)

I'll be glad honestly when the trains are up next weekend when I'm back in SYD; The signage IMO was poor, and was confusing when/if a rail bus would show up (Luckily, not much of a wait for the Airport Express once I finally found the stop area for it.)
