I have notifications set up with NextThere for all the delays and service changes on my main lines T1 and T4.

Most days it's usually lots of "operational issues" and "urgent repairs", but today most of the alerts have been for delays "due to a person causing a disturbance at":

• Central
• Bondi Junction
• Newtown
• West Ryde
• Concord West
• Strathfield
• Hornsby
• Wahroonga
• Pymble
• Lidcombe
• Blaxland

That's a lot of people all causing disturbances across the network in 1 day.

What's brought all the crazy people out today?

2 weeks ago I ordered a phone for delivery on the Harvey Norman website.

They charged my card instantly, but 13 days later the order status is still "Processing" with no updates.

On their checkout page it said it would be shipped in 1 business day!

Their site also boasts: "Australian-based customer service teams offer after-hours support and are available 7 days a week" but when I called their 1300 number they said they can't help with any online orders! They directed me to a "contact us form" which says they'll "respond within 24 hours". It's been a week, still no response.

I called my bank to dispute the transaction but they said I need to resolve it with HN directly.

What should I do now?

A few minor delays tonight, the station announcer is saying it's due to the rain and weather. However the official alert on the Opal app is saying "due to vandalism of trains at various locations"

I mean I guess you could say the rain has vandalised trains adding unwelcome water to the network? 🤣
