I remember having to catch a train in Victoria on a cool summer day in December 2022 when it was about 20 degrees, on which that an "extreme heat timetable" was operating because of a weather forecast from a week earlier.boxythingy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2023 11:01 pm It suggests in some places, in the English language, nice and clearly, that there is an official contingency plan in place which is disclosed in an transparent way and published publicly in a manner that is detailed, in order and precise. I was trying to shed some light on whether Transport NSW had something analogous, if any.
It was scheduled to take around 30 minutes longer than normal, which in reality meant the train operated at full speed between stations, then had ridiculously long dwell times at every station to catch up to the timetable.
I'm glad they don't do that in NSW.
On a different subject, has anybody else noticed that whilst the Airport line is shut this weekend, there are no Revesby trains operating, hence all trains to Macarthur via Sydenham are stopping at all stations.
I remember last year during a similar shutdown that Revesby trains were operating as usual, albeit diverting via Sydenham. Not sure what the reason is for the service reduction this weekend, but it's a long slow trip to Macarthur.
