Commuters Traffic Jam - Mount Druitt Train Station

The first time in many years (especially since I have been commuting on trains for over twenty-two years), there was a small traffic jam of commuters walking up the stairs at Mount Druitt train station.


It was bumper to bumper getting through to the barriers and then we had police officers ensuring there were no commuters evading fares. What caused this was 2 trains arriving at the side by side platform at the same time. 


As I am not used to this, I feel there is a general public trend that patronage has increased, no matter whether we like our services or not and this could be because of many factors, one of  which could be economic reasons that make people change their mind from driving private cars to catching public transport.
