Key train services on the North Shore are being altered.
With the leak of a confidential document, The Sydney Morning Herald reported on the 17th of September that there will be a reduction of four services per hour in peak periods for train services from Hornsby to Central. Other changes involve interpeak trains terminating at North Sydney instead of Lindfield, and late-night trains terminating at North Sydney instead of Gordon, expect for Friday and Saturday night. These changes for the T1 Line will take effect on the 20th of October.
In a speech to Parliament on the 20th of September, Matt Cross, Member for Davidson, expressed his disagreement and distain.
‘This is yet another kick in the guts for Sydney’s North Shore by the out-of-touch Labor Government,’ says Matt Cross MP. ‘First, Labor cut $9.8 million from the Lindfield commuter carparking. Secondly, the Government rezoned Roseville, Lindfield, Killara and Gordon stations for transport-oriented development with zero consultation and zero funds for new infrastructure… Thirdly, our train services have now been cut. Our community needs and deserves world-class public transport, and only the Liberals can deliver it.’
Cross MP goes on to encourage residents to sign his community petition that states:
“We, the undersigned, express concern about plans that train services on the North Shore line will be reduced…”
