MEDIA RELEASE

St Marys Station Lift Replacement

Member for Mulgoa, Tanya Davies MP, is encouraging mobility impaired commuters to take advantage of the Taxi service available on the south side of St Marys station.

Mrs Davies said that after many years of breaking down, the lift on the south side of St Marys station are finally being replaced.  While this is welcomed news to all commuters, the replacement timetable may cause some inconvenience to passengers that cannot use the stairs.

Mrs Davies said that mobility impaired passengers on the south side of the station have two options.  Firstly, commuters may take the 759 bus and alight at the corner of Glossop Street and Forrester Rd and walk to the station or secondly, telephone the station manager on who will arrange a taxi at no charge, to take the customer to the north side of the station where they can access the available lifts.

"I would encourage any person who feels that they cannot take the stairs to call the station master and request a taxi at no cost to themselves".  The telephone number for the station master is promoted on signage on the south side of St Marys station.

"I have requested that Railcorp more adequately promote the option of the taxi service, through improved signage on the south side of St Marys station" Mrs Davies said.

Mrs Davies advised that letterboxing was performed for several blocks around the station on July 4^th to advise of the changes to access, and that station announcements and posters were in place in the week prior to the commencement of works.
