true cause of the melbourne metro eff-ups revealed

Anger over stranded Metro train

"Metro Trains failed to keep commuters informed about a fault that left 200 commuters trapped on board a Frankston-bound service last night, a passenger says.

Peter Camilleri said the train, which departed Flinders Street station at 6.26pm, sat between Malvern and Caulfield stations for 90 minutes with little communication from the driver about the repairs."

This banal example of yet another Metro stuff-up (although, we all know it's crappy Melbourne infastructure to blame, not the people running the train services) may not be as boring as it first seems...
Yes, you heard it first here, the TRUE cause of the stranded train last night:
 
Dementors.
 

 
Ah, I just love Winter on the Frankston Line. The ticket inspectors go from their usual blue-collar garb to full-length black trenchies.
I'm no fashion-blogger (look to my pal Jamie at ohjamie.com, he's incredible), but those Winter ticket inspectors really know how to pull off the Dementor look, prowling the carriages for souls to consume (hey, your average fine is well over $100, it might as well be your soul).
 
Until next time, Expecto Patronum.
