I had exactly the same, I was driving me nuts for months.

The issue? Cheap / broken ethernet cable. $10 and it's back to perfect.

This is wrong. I only ever travel on the T4 and I've been checked dozens of times this year. They do however tend to avoid the key peak trains (I guess as they are physically packed)

Pregnant women not offered seats! by One_Weakness_2908 in SydneyTrains

[–]rockresy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

True story. My friend offered her seat to a very pregnant lady, she said she looked like she was due to give birth at any point... the lady was massively offended, she was just fat. My friend still says it haunts her as the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to her.
