I sent this:
From tomorrow, according to the new train timetable issued byCityRail, I will add a further 26 minutes to my existing4 hour and 40 minute daily commute to Sydney I would just like to make it clear, in no uncertain terms, that I holdthe State Government responsible for this impact on my life and willmake my feelings clear at the next state election.
