Shownotes Transcript

Last three. Barbara's called in from Canley Vale. Hello, Barbara. Hello, Chris. How are you? I'm good, thank you. Here's my partner. My partner and I were just in a little cottage opposite Canley Vale Station and we heard this terrific, absolute bang. We came out and had a look. We couldn't see a darn thing. Anyway, one of the people got off the train and said...

that it was over at the station. So we went up and had a look, and it's a car that's actually gone through the safety rails on the other side of the station. It's knocked it all out. I have taken a photograph of it. I've just been over there because the traffic was absolutely thick. There's police cars everywhere. How the people have survived, I don't know. The ambulance has just gone. So the people in the car have survived?

Well, I think so. I don't know. The ambulances, it's a dreadful mess. It's a shocking mess. How they've survived, I don't know. But anyway, that's about as much as I can tell you. But the guardrail with all the wires for the trains, it's held the trains up. Everybody's had to get off the trains.

So, yeah, but anyway, I thought I'd ring you because I always listen to 2GB. Barbara, can you do me a favour? Can you just email me that photo, drive at 2GB.com, and we'll put it up on the website for everyone so they can have a look at it. Look, I have no idea. I'm 85. I don't know how you do that.

Ask your partner. They might know. Listen, you will have my phone number. I just phoned you. Would you have my phone number there or not? I'll put you back over to the guys. I'll tell you how to do it, okay? Okay, then. Good on you, Barbara. You have a good afternoon. Thank you for alerting us to that. So that's at Canley Vale train station.
