Commuters Need To Understand Sydney Train Stoppages Or Disturbances On Trips!

A  hardworking Eric from Mount Druitt starts early in morning and spends 10 12 hours per day working - including travelling time. He walks to Mount Druitt train Stations and uses Sydney Trains  to get to and from Central train station.

At first he said he didn't have any improvements or issues to think of  as he does sympathise and understand where there is  travelling connection problems that occur.

He claims when these stoppages occur, commuters should be completely calm and relaxed as is it up to everyone how you deal with it and being over upset will not solve the issue.

The advice to commuters  is they need to go with the flow if the is a disturbance on a trip, as it is part of life that these things may happen. Sydney Trains will intensively go out of their way to solve these situations.

Commuters need to understand that  as we listen to announcements  and told of resolutions being made to solve issues, then eventually we will get home or to work or the ultimate destination we want to get to. They will ensure they do their best to ensure that all commuters are calm, relaxed and  are in easy sedate atmosphere, making sure that commuters do not get upset easily, so that there is understanding of  what they are doing to make the situation better. Place yourself in their job before you criticise!

Another Rooty Hill Train Station Upgrade Petition - Mr Richard Amery - Member For Mount Druitt!

We believe in improvements which provide efficient, more reliable and comfort to all commuters, in and around Mount Druitt, in relation to public transport. 

Thus, we are promoting the State Member for Mount Druitt, Mr. Richard Amery's  petition for an upgraded Rooty Hill train station petition to make it more accessible.  We know from last year when the Federal Member for Chifley, Mr. Ed Husic, also had a post card petition for the same petition. I don't know what the result of  it and was wondering what the affect could be from a Federal Member, in relation to a State issue. Although Federal  blessing who be a strong reference.

My understanding it is in the system from upgrade within the next 10-12 years - thus it has been approved for upgrade!

So, you can copy the below petition, here below, then return it directly to the Member for Mount Druitt, Richard Amery

FIRST SESSION OF THE FIFTY-FIFTH PARLIAMENT

-  2  - 

Mr RICHARD AMERY (Mount Druitt) [3.55 p.m.]: I join the member for Keira in opposing this nonsense motion. Two government backbenchers spoke to a motion congratulating their Government on delivering better transport for the residents of New South Wales. But the motion begs the question: Where are the improvements? I turn to the contributions of those members who spoke on behalf of the Government.

The member for Londonderry, who moved the motion, had five minutes to outline why the Government should be congratulated on its improvements to transport. I can advise the House that for four minutes and 20 seconds he made various exaggerated claims about the former Government. He had five minutes to put his case and for four minutes and 20 seconds he waffled on, rehashing the past 18 months of attacks on the former Government by the Minister for Transport.

In the last 40 seconds he switched to arguing why the Government should be congratulated, and then used the last 10 seconds talking about his service as a helicopter pilot. Obviously flying a helicopter shakes a few things loose. That was evident from the member's speech today as it obviously shook up his memory.

The member for Londonderry asked where I was when meetings were held in Mount Druitt. I can answer that question: I was sitting alongside him, together with the member for Hawkesbury, who was also present.

The DEPUTY-SPEAKER (Mr Thomas George): Order! I advise the member for Mount Druitt that he has one minute in which to conclude his contribution.

Mr RICHARD AMERY: The member for Castle Hill gave three key reasons for congratulating the Government: consultation, plans and drilling. I want to know how many passengers are carried by consultation, plans and drilling. The answer is nil. He said the Government should be congratulated because it is delivering services. That is rhetoric; there is no detail.

Previous governments made many changes to bus services in western Sydney. Have they been reversed by this Government? No. Those opposite talk about plans and new bus services. But train on-time running is worse now than when they inherited the service. We met international benchmarks but this Government has dirtier trains that run slower.

It is cramming people onto overcrowded trains, and if its new sheriffs cannot get the passengers into the carriage they leave them on the platform. Those opposite want to be congratulated? They have got to be joking.
