Thursday on Woy Woy station; the announcement is “the next train will be four cars only for today only”.
So we all struggle to find a seat.
The bigger problem is that the new Mariyung trains, which have finally arrived, are being run as eight-car sets instead of the planned 10 cars.
Eight-car Mariyung trains only have 75% capacity of the older fleet.
Why is the NSW government reducing this public transport service by 25%?
At the same time the NSW Government is forcing up our population through high rise at Woy Woy, Gosford, Erina and Wyong.
And this is without any commitment to increase our services.
Where is the planning for schools and additional health services?
We already have to travel to North Sydney for “specialist” health; where is the money to support this new population bomb?
The Mariyung “service” seems to be a sign that the NSW Government is forcing the Central Coast to travel backwards.
