Better Informed Train Commuters For Delays - Penrith Commuter -

Well how interested can we all be in discussing public transport to one single stranger for a at least 15  to 30 minutes of a train journey and  in that space of time, you are deeply involved in conversation. You miss your train station, you blame another but really it is not you it happened too it is me!


Yes, this happened to me in discussing public transport with a young newly married man called 'Chung'. Extremely so pleasant and youthful to talk  too. He has recently moved from the South coast and now resides in Penrith. 


He commutes by train to and from North Sydney and his main improvement he would like to see is proper official announcements of train delays. Sometimes up to one hour. He has experience this happen in a week 5 days in a row and it was for a drunk that had passed out in the train to signal failures and the rest was no reason provied. The solution is for City Rail and for Transport For NSW to ensure that guards are properly  providing detailed truth as to why train service is being delayed. Even if they say call, 131500 for further updates. 


Don't keep the commuter in suspense ans create hysteria!


Track work on weekends can be frustrating on the Western Line. It appears they work on maintenance on the Western Line every three weekends - understanding that maintenance is a major requirement in the future progress of City Rails expansion - it would be suggestible it could be worked on every four weeks and that allows for les frustration for commuters!
