Two trains have extra carriages

Two trains each day now have an extra two carriages.

The 5.36am Gosford to Central service and the 5pm Central to Gosford service have been increased from six to eight carriages from February 1.

"This is excellent news as it means more capacity on peak services and a better chance of getting a seat," said Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews.

The Member for the Entrance Mr Grant McBride said the increase was made possible by the roll out, so far, of 130 Oscar train carriages.

Labor candidate for Gosford Ms Katie Smith welcomed the announcement saying the extra carriages were a real boost for the Central Coast.

"It's never been easier to catch public transport in Gosford and the Central Coast with more buses on the roads, more commuter car parks, and now train services with extra seats," she said.
