Mount Druitt Sydney Trains commuters are gobsmacked / disgruntled with the added extra train station stations on the express trains services based on the released new train time table services of 26th November 2017, stopping in Mount Druitt.
New time tables of 26/11/2017 have added 3 extra trainon the the express journey: Rooty Hill, Doonside and Seven Hills, in early morning train peak services. This adds approximately 8 to 10 minutes on the previous time tables per service.
So, if commuters are catching trains from Mount Druitt 10 times a week (which includes return to home services), then at least an extra 80 to 100 minutes is added to travelling times of Mount Druitt commuters, per week.
What I have noticed that over the last 27 years, the NSW Government has added train stations with new time tables over this of this period of time. made the spread train at Mount Druitt to a Non-express train service. You can't fool me. Soon, we will end up with no express train services.
When I first caught express train services from Mount Druitt first stop to City was Redfern and from Redfern was Mount Druitt. Now that is what I call 'Express Train Service.' Then a few years later Blacktown was added in. Following that, was Parramatta then Strathfield was added in later, and now 3 trains stations added on: Seven Hills, Doonside and Rooty Hill*.
We recently has a Blacktown City Council Public Transport Forum and NSW transport attended the meeting. They discussed about improvements and projects up and running but they do not discuss time tables and the affects or improvements of it. Maybe if they could speak to our forum and explain the change of time tables - we would be in a better stance to
I don't know why Transport NSW doesn't consult with the people living in the area of changes or is Members of Parliament, represent ing us as constituents, before introducing these time tables and saying, 'like it or live it' attitude The major Stations on this T1 Western line out West of Sydney are Penrith, St Marys, Mount Druitt, Blacktown.
I ask all NSW State Members to ask the NSW Parliament on demand and ask why are Express trains Services becoming De-Express Train Services in Mount Druitt.
* Please note whilst I am discussing what has happened with Express train services with the three new train stations added on, I am not unhappy they have been added on. It is because they have been added an Express Service to make it De-Express Service.
There is a solution and I will ask to refer to next post for the solution.
