WAZZUP?!



Train fares are on the rise (AGAIN)!! So get your periodical tickets and pre-paid travelpasses before 4 January 2009!!

Owww concession day return Strathfield to City goes from $3.40 to $3.80. Weekly green travelpasses jump from $21.50 to $23!! It's worse if you're paying adult fares!!

In other news, RailCorp now officially owns the Epping-to-Chatswood rail line as of 12.01am Friday 19th December...WOW!

who owned the epping-chatswood line before??

it's not running yet either is it?

Jay Chow said...

good question!

it was owned by the Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation (TIDC) on behalf of the government since 1 January 2004 until the handover.

the line's not running revenue services yet, but everything's ready to go. The ball is now in RailCorp's court - basically, it's up to RailCorp when it wants to start running services (which should be February/March 2009).
