I well remember riding the Central West Express out to the country one day and the driver of the 46 made up all of the time lost from being despatched several minutes late from Central. We really flew over the mountains. When we got to Lithgow I heard the Station Master congratulating him on a job well done. Nowadays the only time you hear words from any corporate fish-head is when something has gone wrong.
