Love for new metro

Well, I love the new metro. Waterloo to City in a few minutes. Chatswood, 17 minutes. The trains are spotless, the stations sparkling and the staff smiling. Very impressive.

I admit my reservations and disappointment about not getting a full rail upgrade but I’ll be using it.

To give you a better example, whilst typing this I looked up and am at Chatswood. Wonderful, excellent, fantastic!
