Mount Druitt Train Station Peak Time For Existing Train Station Suggestion!

Mark, A fellow former work colleague and Whalan community member has prompted myself to look at a quick and low cost effective way of resolving the overcrowding at Mount Druitt train station concourse, at peak pm times when going through barriers

Just talking to different people everyday an getting a better understanding of ways our great area can be improved, can make that small change leading to major improved changes to all the train commuters community.

So the quick improvement required is exactly what is at Rooty Hill station has, because of its set up.  That is the electronic ticketing machines that are on poles on the bottom of the steps, currently on the steps of each plat Rooty Hill platform.

Mount Druitt could have two  or of these pole on the left side and same on the right side of steps as well as  at the bottom of the two ramps as well. Additional to that could be these same poles at the  top of the stairs and the open gate (barrier) is free for commuters, that have already 'tapped' on  or off.

This would be a smaller cost for time being, until the Mount Druitt train station is upgraded with bigger and larger facilities and then cope with the amount of commuters reaching home all in one hit/time.

We  hope that Council Traffic/transport officers add this to their Integrated Transport Master Plan and that Councillors back this  improvement as well as the Member for Mount Druitt, Edmond Atalla refer this to the NSW Parliament and to the NSW Minister of Roads and Transport. We also ask for feedback from all stakeholders, of any progress.
