I drove to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Broadmeadows_railway_station,_Melbourne\">Broadmeadows Station<\/a> and caught the train into the city. Surprisingly this only took an extra 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I immediately felt at home. The diversity of peoples on the train was refreshing. Though the train was a bit over crowded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/sets\/72157645535944585\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140731-064228-24148427.jpg\" alt=\"20140731-064228-24148427.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">During the morning I checked the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nswtrainlink.info\/your_journey\/service_alerts#Southern\">countrylink website<\/a> for news of the train. It was running on time. I checked that Kirsten has left. Kirsten let me know they were on the train and on time. It was a bit later that Annika told me that the <a href=\"http:\/\/m.railpage.com.au\/f-t11378504.htm\">XPT had derailed<\/a>. But it was the one going the other way. Kirsten also called and said that there was a derailment and that their train would terminate at Albury and that busses would continue the journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Later I learned that Luke was on the train. Apparently they were stuck for three hours waiting for a bus to pick them up. He was late getting back to start work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I caught the train back out to Braodmeadows. I had to as the car was there. When I arrived the rail staff were a bit confused as to what was going to happen. As I had some time I headed into the shopping center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/14684801533\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140731-064400-24240201.jpg\" alt=\"20140731-064400-24240201.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When I returned I was informed that the bus would arrive in the Pascoe Vale Road side. So I waited over there in a door way hiding as best I could from the freezing wind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The bus dutifully arrived and they were all there with all their things. We stopped for some take away dinner in Broadmeadows and then headed home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kirsten, Krysta and Teresa came back on the XPT.
