It is a real tragedy that we have such an incompetent government in power.
Our government doesn’t even do much to improve the system. The issue of the government leads onto the third reason why we all hate CityRail. Yep and the NSW pollies get their pay increase and get driven home in airconditioned cars”. One MX reader wrote to the newspaper “It’s 37 degrees and I am on a train on the Western line without aircon. How exciting to be wedged between commuter?! You’re lucky if there’s no bad body odour. There is no air con and when it reaches almost 40 degrees and you’re stuck standing in a crowded train, there’s nothing you can do. This week Sydney experienced a sweltering hot day and anyone who had to catch the box trains had to deal with the next problem of lack of or should I say, non-existent air conditioning.ĭon’t get me started on how archaic the box/tin can trains some of us have to catch. You don’t have to try hard to find an example. It is like whoever designed the train system never took weather into consideration.Īs one reader from the Herald observed, “A bit of warm weather and Sydney’s rail system collapses”. Whenever the weather is hot or stormy, CityRail becomes a diva and has a meltdown. Of course, we all know that there are times when CityRail can’t stick to its timetable because of breakdowns and delays. How many of you have to plan your life around this pathetic timetable? My train comes every half an hour which means I’m either always too early for something or a bit late. It inspired me to compile the top 8 reasons why Sydney-siders hate CityRail (in no particular order because they’re all equally valid).Įven without delays, the timetables are often unhelpful to Sydney’s population. In today’s Sydney Morning Herald, many readers had written letters expressing their anger and frustration at the mess known as CityRail.Īs usual, MX also had a few readers ranting in the Letters page.
