Thanks for that. I fixed it up. It was a cross between "... up to a third" and "... a third". Heh. Thanks for that. I fixed it up. It was a cross between “… up to a third” and “… a third”.

Have you actually been on an early morning train? Generally they are quite empty. :) I have also never found a night rider bus packed full of people so its no issue to me. As for Cityrail getting worse, of course, it has to before it can get better. I am happy that they are cancelling services rather than having services never appear or run badly late. Fortunately 90% of trains rain nicely, especially on the north shore line and I doubt many/any people will be inconvenienced by the moves they are making. “Trains can hold many, many more people than any bus can, so wouldn’t it be more efficient to just run that one train instead of, say, 4, buses?”
