Derailed

D-Rail: We'll leave you there!

"Because D-Rail wants to piss you off, we have scheduled trackwork during the HSC and univeristy exam period. Please be advised that we will be running a slightly more reliable bus service during this time. Wind your clocks forward one hour to compensate for the extra hour of twiddling your thumbs. Psychologically you're still commuting at the same time so you have no reason to bitch to management. Have a nice day"
 
RCS: the latest trend.
"D-Rail is proud to announce that this new and exciting concept in public transport will be implemented daily. Be the lucky commuter to get an extra hour at one of our stunning train stations! Make a fashionably late entrance! Lucky door prizes for people travelling between 2 and 4 am on the 21st of january. D-Rail: we'll leave you there!"
 
Musical trains: the latest craze!
"A new take on a classic game. We'll sporadically change services to keep you on your toes. Instead of your service continuing on, we'll stop it and send it back in the direction it came from. Get some exercise: dash across an unfamiliar platform to your connection. Become part of the excitement. It's all part of our "commuter alert" program. Never be bored on your way to work again! D-Rail: we'll leave you there!" 
 
D-Rail Survivor: "I am waiting for a bus"
"An engaging new reality television show. Yet again we're scheduling unnecessary trackwork during the exam period to shoot the pilot of CCTV's "D-Rail Survivor". The twist is that none of our commuters know the amended timetable for the two week period. Who will literally bite their nails to the bone? Which student will be the last to panic as their exam time approaches but they're no closer to uni? Stay tuned for the "Drunken rage" episodes. Guess who's the commuter and who's the hobo. D-Rail: we'll leave you there!"
 

"Efficiency is a 10 letter word..."

Feel the most stress midweek? Are you crying out for a break on Wednesdays? Well, you're in luck! Starting this week, Wednesday services will be running to an amended timetable. It's time for "pot luck Wednesdays"! Services will be slashed! The ordinary timetable will no longer apply. Get a short break from work and spend it on one of our beautifully furnished trains. The length of your break is up to you! Or, if you prefer a little mystery, take advantage of our "driver's choice" package. All because we care about the mental welfare of our patrons.

D-rail: We'll leave you there!
 

"Today's rail delays brought to you by the letter 'I'"

Our drivers love rainy days. In fact, they love them so much they spend more time admiring the deluge than actually driving. In an attempt to bring the love to our patrons, we are now operating to a new timetable. Services will now run less frequently and we are increasing travel time to allow you to enjoy the sights. It's all to show we care

*this* much about our regular commuters. Our new service is running in conjunction with the amended Wednesday timetable. So if it happens to be a rainy Wednesday, don't hold your breath.

D-rail: we'll leave you there
 
"No more compression socks!"

D-Rail is proud to announce its new anti-DVT program. Due to several complaints about cramped and uncomfortable seating, we are now including free rest stops during your commute. Why sit down for three hours when you can get off half way and change trains? Your train will terminate and connect with a new service. Stretch your legs. Take advantage of the fresh air. All because we love our customers.
