O’FARRELL GOVERNMENT SHOULD RELEASE NEW TRAIN TIMETABLE FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION

The NSW Opposition has called on the O’Farrell Government to release the new draft train timetable for public consultation to give commuters the full picture of future services to their local train station and the opportunity to have their say.

The draft timetable – which is set to be implemented in October – will mean huge changes across the entire rail network, yet the full and final draft remains a secret.

“Commuters have a right to know what the new timetable will mean for them,” Opposition Leader John Robertson said.

“The Government shouldn’t be hiding this timetable – it should be released immediately for community consultation.

"Building a station at Flinders is vital to give local residents easy access to the rail network without having to drive kilometres down the road to Dunmore," Mr Robertson said.
