Illawarra Rail Fail-Public meeting 28 May 2018

Imagine a train service to and from Sydney every 15 minutes with slick connections to local stations. Imagine getting a seat every time even in peak hour.
Other countries and cities have great train services - it’s possible, but only if there is the political will to make it happen. We need a State government that will commit money to improve rail infrastructure and who will lobby hard for Federal infrastructure money to be allocated to the Illawarra.
There will be a State election in NSW in March 2019. Let’s convince politicians that this is a hot issue for voters.
Come to a public meeting to express your ideas and call for specific improvements like:

• Extra carriages on the current overcrowded 4 car services
  
• Increase seating capacity on proposed new 2019 fleet
  
• Tunnel from Thirroul to Waterfall
