Transport

A number of NSW TrainLink Services have been cancelled, leaving essential workers stranded after a fortnight of chaos at the Central Station Staff Testing Hub. Around 260 NSW TrainLink staff were advised that a COVID-19 tester at Central Station had tested positive for COVID-19.

The NSW Government’s River Class ferries will only operate during the daytime until the Government figures out a solution to the massive defects in each of the ten foreign-built River Class ferries.

The NSW Government’s River Class ferries will be further delayed, after safety standards mandated that the windows in the vessels wheelhouses be replaced because they make the vessels unsafe to operate at night.

On 3 June it is World Bicycle Day, a great reminder of how supporting cycling and alternative modes of transport can transform cities and communities.

The Government is increasing transport fares by 1.5 percent over the next 12 months.

The Government continues to ignore the calls from parents and the Petersham Public School community for upgrades to the West Street and Railway Terrace intersection. 

The community at our local schools have had enough of the lack of concern for students on their way to school and the severely insufficient safety measures currently in place.

NSW Labor will commit $700,000 to support Dungog become a world-class biking destination and boost tourism across the Upper Hunter.

Despite the decrease in commuters as a result of the pandemic bicycle and scooter users are struggling to find spaces to safely store their devices at train stations across the Central Coast.

I congratulate the Bicycle Network and all the students, families and schools that took part in National Ride2School Day.
