No 'Shitty Trains' Required In Afternoon!

The other day I spoke to Santiago from Oakhurst, travels  by car to Mount Druitt Commuters Car Park and then by Sydney Trains to North Sydney.

'Shitty Trains' are available in summer on  very hot days and they are not comfortable journey's. This is caused by by 'stinky people' that don't look after their body odor  which affects his nose  (which is sensitive to smelling).

The morning train services are provided with new train carriages, with older train carriages in the afternoon, this is when he  tends to suffer with this condition - when you get a sudden putrid smell, this can cause further stress from the work you have carried out during the day as the train carriage becomes  uncomfortable, hot sweating & sticky.  

What is required is newer train services in the afternoon, which is important, with air circulating with air conditioning, rather than open windows bringing heat all throughout the journey, it makes you more refreshing especially if you are going to meet someone or  meeting more people!

Sydney Trains 2013 New Time Tables Feedback - Oakhurst Commuter Wakes Up Earlier!

We are starting to get some feed back on the  NSW Governments Sydney Trains new time tables. Today, I spoke to Mosen from Oakhurst and he has advised that for him the  train time tables will make him wake up earlier!

He caught Busways bus 754 from Oakhurst to Mount Druitt at 6.53am (old time table) and reached Mount Druitt prior  to 7.23am. Now the train service to North Sydney from Mount Druitt is now at 7.20am, he has to get the bus at 6.30am to reach the earlier train. This is because there is a highly likely chance that his bus service will not allow him to reach that train, as it stops at a lot of bus stops picking up commuters. He suggests that there should be a bus service at Oakhurst at around 6.45am- 6.50am and this would make it easier for himself, rather than waking early to get to work.

His only issues with the new 7.20am Sydney Trains from Mount Druitt to North Sydney is there is a lot of overcrowding on this express train service and very rarely does he get a seat on the train at Mount. Mosen says  if you catch this service and you don't have a seat at Mount Druitt, next  available seat is Central.
The solution to this is  provide additional  one to two carriages and then 90% of standing commuters of Mount Druitt's 720am train service will be able to sit down.

More Newer Trains on The T1 Western/North Shore Line - Oakhurst Commuter!

John from Oakhurst travels to Westmead/Parramatta visiting friends twice or three times a week and also Busways 754 to get to Mount Druitt and return.

He uses the application  on the 'I phone' to check when trains and buses are coming and has checked out the new time tables starting as from 20th October 2013, so he thinks this fantastic for Sydney Trains.

 The item he would like to see improved is that either more never trains that have the electronic indicator boards, whilst seeing when the next train station is arriving, provides more comfort to each and every commuter. When he brings his young son with him it does make it that much easier knowing and understanding when his destination is arriving, makes his younger son  travel in better comfort. He would now like to see more newer trains on the T1 Western/North Shore line.

Oakhurst Commuter Needs Cleaner And Better Time Tabled Trains!

Young Lesley from Oakhurst catches the Busways 754 to Mount Druitt and then transfers to Mount Druitt train station  and catches a City Rail train to UWS (University of Western Sydney) Parramatta.

Her main issues are train cleanliness and sitting in dirty train carriages and train time table services need to be more frequent she seems to get a majority of the time, train delays that affect her  reaching her lessons at UWS Parramatta. She would like to see the time table increased to every 15 minutes for trains to Parramatta, would prefer a fast train but doesn't mind if there is a slower train to make up for it. The trains she often catches is normally packed an she ends up not getting a seat all the time.

She proposes that there should be a gradual increase in services so that Transport for  NSW ( New South Wales) before making significant changes. All trains should be cleaned on a regular basis,claims it is impossible to do every day thoroughly but at least it should be done every week.
