Sydney’s passenger trains will resume full weekday services at the end of this month amid rising patronage across the rail network and growing expectations of an easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
“This is a great sign,” he said of the patronage figures. “It shows customers have confidence to jump on public transport as more people get back to major centres like Sydney’s CBD and Parramatta.” Restrictions requiring masks to be worn inside, as well as density limits and the ban on singing and dancing, were extended last month until February 28.Sydney’s trains have been running at an “enhanced” weekend rail timetable – similar to what was operating during the peak of the Delta outbreak in August – since January 10.
Trains on the Sydney Metro Northwest line, as well as buses and light rail services, will keep running to an “enhanced” weekend timetable until at least February 28. Ferries have operated to their usual weekday timetable throughout the summer period.Mr Collins said safety across the network remained a top priority, and a plan to ensure frontline workers and passengers who rely on public transport stay safe would remain in force.
