Less carriages on some trains

I had to laugh at the big deal that Marie Andrews was making about two of our Central Coast trains receiving two extra train carriages in an article in the Peninsula News on Monday, February 7.

Two trains out of how many are getting two extra carriages.

I would like to say that I am a commuter and that my train coming home to Woy Woy used to have eight carriages, but when the new City Rail timetable came was released it went down to six carriages.

It seems that, in one case then, we are only receiving the two carriages back that were stolen from us previously.

Heaven knows how many other of our Central Coast trains were affected.

Get real, Marie.

We commuters deserve at least eight carriages on every train.

It is very disappointing when sometimes you get on to go to work at Woy Woy and have to stand up all the way to Hornsby.
