| Cityrail | |

CityRail is the passenger rail service covering suburban Sydney and extending to the Hunter, Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands and South Coast regions. The CityRail network is one of the world's most complex. An average of one million trips is made to and from 307 stations each weekday. The radial nature of the network itself makes the task of moving this number of people to and from work a real challenge. Our fleet of over 1650 carriages travel through 1,595 km of mainline track, across 888 bridges and through 46 km of tunnels. With an operation this size, isolated problems are inevitable but we try to minimise them through regular maintenance and performance management. Cityrail: http://www.cityrail.info |
