I'm not sure why he put the hash sign in front, but why would a passenger (not train enthusiast) want the working timetable, instead of a public timetable?
White lives matter too.

The hash (#) tags make the topic popular. Also I said it as train enthusiast.

Hash tags are used on many social networking sites.

Yes you do. Copies I have seen in there for sale have cost around the $40 mark.

In the past Connex issued some Working Timetables as CDs which from memory were cheaper (around $26?). Not sure if that still happens but worth checking out if $40 is more than you plan to spend!

$26 could buy plenty of blank CDs (and cases) to save the online PDF onto. :P

Kind Regards

LOL true. In those days Connex didn't publish the WTT online so it was the only way to get one. Nowadays you'd just download it so I'm not sure why someone wouldn't do that, but clearly above in the thread someone would prefer a printed version so I suggested an alternative if they didn't want to download it or spend $40...

One would've thought you'd check it still wasn't available before making a big deal about it on their twitter.
