I read he moved off smartish from a station with no dawdling. Thats probably
what raised the alarm. I think its in every drivers contract to pointlessly
waste 20 seconds at every stop now regardless of whether anyone is getting
on or off.
Oh , and the ****ers are threatening another strike. The spirit of Crowe
lives on it seems.
Has Russell Crowe died?
