There was a commuter train working yesterday with a shattered pane.
Was on it on the way into work and saw it again last night in Pearse?

Are they safe so long as it isnt the emergency window?

I'm not sure about trains, but in buildings, with a double glazed window you will tend to have one ordinary pane and one laminated (safety) pane. The laminated pane will be on the safety conscious side for a train that will be inside.

Yes i find it's normally very close to 7.26. It's very good time wise imo. It arrives at 7.26 waits a few minutes and takes off again.

The 6.48 tho... yikes. It arrives at 6.48 and is gone literally asap. You really need to be there at 6.45 just in case because obviously they have to rush it through due to congestion.

At least they try to give accurate delay warnings now... due in 5 minutes, 7 minutes etc and an honest reason. Somebody must of said something - better than what we used to get... it's due any minute now.... just another minute or so.... should be here in 5 mins... 10 mins... *train rolls in 45mins late*...

If the train is late... the train ticket should cover the bus fare.
