The Wax Conspiracy

Time as an Illusion and Deadmen Talking Brakes

Fuelled by the excess of time and idle wares, the NSW Government sent out buffers of deflection for perennial whipping boy, CityRail. In leather strapped saddle chafing at the sides, times reported for the state run rail system in line with the timetables. Or rather the misalignment of such and the apparently constant occurrences of oft-late trains turning up drunk for work reeking of sand and hobos in government housing plans.

Set up to take the hard fall are the supposed safety mechanisms and speed recorders in the trains which are apparently causing the tardy times. Devices and such which were only brought back into main use following the whimpering cascading blood at Waterfall. In that instance the speed of the train and fact that they were nearly on time reached levels of paranoia for the passengers. A state which in the end they found themselves smeared along the insides of the carriages.

Ultimately what is left is argument of time, or the illusion of such a concept. More importantly the myth that the trains of Sydney once ran on according to a timetable schedule that was known outside the fraternity of workers sunning on the rails and rocks midway between sanity and coins on the line.
