So I decide to catch a train to the airport in Sydney at 7am. I notice some people running around towards the rear of the station and back and forth so I go to investigate.

There was a freaking BUS at a 45 degree vertical angle off the steep slope from the road on the train tracks. Illustration is below (mspaint via touchpad at the airport so be nice!). Sorry no real pics, I was carrying too much gear to take a shot.

So yeah all sorts of delays as you can imagine: (News Link)
"A bus has reversed back onto a railway line off Langston Place, at Epping," a NSW Police Force spokeswoman said.

"The bus is going to be there for a little while yet."

this link has a short video of it and some words and a photo

edit: I used to live in Epping, go me, but knowing the Sydney rail system, this would have f***ed up the whole morning peak hour train services, I know they were doing building works the last time I was in Epping for a new station, wonder how the bus driver managed to f*** up so bad!?!?

After seeing the photo, holy s***! That was the bus I was meant to catch to the train-station! But the 294 bus was leading it by 1 metre so I caught it instead.

Anyway, just crazy Sydney-ness.

"She had briefly left the bus and that's when it occurred,'' the STA spokeswoman said.

"She returned to the bus and it had gone."

Well, a couple of minutes drive from. I don't like the suburb that much, it has a strange feel to it.
