I heard a delightful concert last night, but my trip home was not so delightful. The electronic train signage said
the train went north but instead it went west and I landed in Blacktown. It didn't help that I was playing patience on my phone and missed announcements for the first few stations.
By the time I realised what had happened it was almost too late ... luckily I registered the Blacktown announcement or I would have landed in Penrith and it would have been too late to get home.
I had a long wait until I could get a train back to Strathfield to catch the train I needed, but oh
well, at least I did get home eventually - if very late. This happened to me once before several years ago at Strathfield, but that time a lot of other people were with me. Perhaps last night other misled passengers got off earlier, while I was immersed in my card game.
Gosh, that could have been a very scary few hours.
