Fort station Monday return after the long weekend — no special trains, sit the packed regular or bus from Pettah
31 Aug, two hard-shells we should have dumped. Board at Fort does not show extras. Group chat is screaming specials. Elder already done. I will not invent a cancelled Main Line. Need the grown-up fork: stand three hours or pay a bus.

There are no specials for the Monday return rush. Station Masters already said so. Sit whatever regular has a seat, or Pettah bus if the elder vetoes standing. Do not invent an island-wide shutdown. Fort is crowded, not closed.
We sat the later regular. Slow. Fine. Anyone selling a 'special ticket' on the platform is selling air.
Left bags at Left Luggage, walked tea, took the next seated. Worth the hour.
