I Know I Feel Safe

For your safety and security, Cityrail staff, and the police, patrol this station.

North Sydney station this morning; they played that message three times in a row.

There are no rubbish bins in the underground stations in Sydney. They were removed in 2000 before the Olympic Games, because they make a perfect place to hide a bomb. That's where the bomb was left outside the Hilton Hotel in Sydney in 1978 during the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting. That bomb went off early when the rubbish was collected, and only one person - a policewoman - was killed.

It's just one of those little adjustments we have to make because some people want to kill us all.

For your safety, surveillance cameras continually monitor this station.

Correction: I've been fact-checked on this, and it turns out that three people were killed in the Hilton Hotel bombing, two council workers and a policeman, Constable Paul Burmistriw.
