New South Wales Minister for Transport Andrew Constance has announced that will double the train services to and from Sydney Airport, a project implemented under the ‘More Train, More Services’ programme.
The passengers on T2 Airport Line will have access to more than 200 extra services every week in non-peak times.
“In 2014 there were 6.2 million customer journeys to and from Domestic and International Airport stations. Since then, there has been an extra one million customer journeys to and from the Airport each year – a 32 per cent increase in patronage. Weekend patronage has grown even more – shooting up 42%. It’s clear that more and more people are choosing the train to and from the airport, so we need to move fast to cater for this growth,” the minister explained.
The new service improvements will be implemented from late 2017. This is the next step in the ‘More Trains, More Services’ program – a capital investment of over USD 1.5 billion to provide an urgent uplift in customer service on Sydney’s rail network.
