Mount Druitt 'Cold-Train' Commuter!

 A freezing cold young Milton from  borderline of St Clair/Erskine Park catches the Westbus 776 to and from Mount Druitt and then catches City Rail train to the city. He finds that he has a chance to catch a  bit of sleep  in the carriage, which you cannot get if driving a private car to and from the city and the stress of high costs of private transport, which can be very uneconomical. 

Today he only got a chance to sleep from Parramatta as I was talking to him.

Milton would like to see his cold winter train in the morning the 6.31 leave Mount Druitt warm as he travels in the so called 'Cold-Train'. He finds rarely the train carriages are comfortably warm when entering.


THANK GOD IT WASN'T LIKE THIS MORNING BUT IT
FELT LIKE IT!
Tangara trains are normally being used in other areas of City Rail  around the Sydney airport area and this is what  he requires to keep him and other commuters warm. I did suggest to him that also there was no heating on the train the more commuter bodies sit in the carriage, the more heated the carriage gets and he agreed.

Milton would like the NSW Government to look at the funds that they have in their coffers, they then should allocate funds to  provide improvements in new warm time table train carriage, which will meet the needs of their winter freezing commuters.
