So What happens When You Reach Mount Druitt Train Station And There Is A Power Loss.........

So what does happen when there is a power loss at Mount Druitt Train Station, when you reach it heading for your destination...you are  firstly stunned and lost for words.


 So the Sydney Trains Station Assistant at the Mount Druitt vestibule area, was calm and sedate in answering each commuters questions when there was  no Opal Electronic Ticketing machine available to 'Tap and Go'!

No top up machines, no barriers working, but left open for all to pass through and finally no electronic indicators in the vestibule area also the platforms.

You can workers in the Background working on electricity poles! 
We were informed that that there was a power loss, when you reach Opal, explain situation and they will credit you instead of  being charged the full fair. This must be done after the 'Tap Off' point.

So I did, spoke to a customer service operator and received the appropriate credit of $2.44. It all counts!

The electricity company was working down the road straight away!

What we need to know is what caused the power loss, was it done criminally or was it caused by  natural events. Maybe our State Member for Mount Druitt, Edmond Atalla, will follow this through!
