Sri Lankan Refugee in Mount Druitt Likes Trains!




He is extremely happy with the City Rail service and finds no issues. Yet he provided a slight comparison of trains compared to Sri Lanka and Sydney. He claims that in the  peaceful part of Sri Lanka good trains and in the worn torn part there are no trains just buses.

Then the poured out his terror that he had gone through in war- Sri Lanka - where he had experienced fighting  and bombing for 3 months and  to his and his wife dismay, his daughter ended up with markings from a bomb on her chest. she now goes to school somewhere in Blacktown, he is learning English to get a job. Today he was meeting a friend in Seven Hills train station  and then they will both travel to a temple in Westmead where they will pray for peace. 




A refugee  man from Sri Lanka brought over by the Red Cross, living in Mount Druitt for 1 year but as I spoke to him the other day we both understood each other. Amazing!

I totally understand why he wouldn't like services improved with public transport as he and his family and got an improved life in Australia, so they are completely happy living in peaceful Australia.
