Western Sydney Trains Western Line - More Unairconditioned Trains - More Fare Discounts Required For Mount Druitt Commuters

Approximately 2 months ago, Dwayne from Mount Druitt was complaining about being a public  transport train user on the Western Line, traveling form the city  to Mount Druitt.

There was no sealed windows, with on board air-conditioning. There was  uncomfortable passengers, with sweat appearing on foreheads. hand and armpits.

Today, we have the same situation today,  same train reaching Mount Druitt, 4.48pm and  more commuters on train, with more feeling uncomfortable.

Dwayne has told myself, that he has seen train  services with air-conditioned  carriages in the front of the train and then non air-conditioned  on the behind carriages.

We were told by Sydney Trains experts that Western Sydney get trains like this when other carriages are in maintenance service.  So my question is twofold: Where are the spare air-conditioned  train carriages that be placed to replaced the  air-conditioned trains for maintenance service and does trains travel;ling to Eastern and Northern suburbs have the same replacement trains for air-conditioned trains being serviced?

In Western Sydney, Mount Druitt, we pay full fare and now I feel, our dares should be reduced and even given weekend fare-free weekends, like previously provided before last fare increase. We should take much more heat.

Let's hope, we don't get these silly excuses of other trains being serviced from NSW Government. They should plan ahead and prevent this happening.

If we talk bout the NSW Long Term  Transport Master Plan 2030,  which plans for public transport for 20 years in advance. This type of planning places us 20 years behind. We understand our local NSW State member  is right behind us here and we hope that  he drags this "hot" issue to NSW Parliament. Maybe, he can travel on the same train back to Mount  Druitt and feel how it is.
