I seen one on the Friday before the line opened where somone thought
he would get charged to interchange at Wolli Creek. I cannot remember
where he was coming from but he was going to Redfern, his suggestion
was he had to catch a train west to Kingsgrove I think, change and
back track east to get to Redfern. Afterall he wasn't paying $8 to
change at Wolli Creek. Although there will always be dumb people, it
beggs the question do some people think they are being charged by
going through the Airport line? Would be interesting to find out.
Maybe CityRail PR needs to tell people at least about Wolli Creek, not
be a surcharge station and that there is no interchange fee. PS. Does
Wolli creek have car parking? Many of the complaints I read were from
people who drove to Tempe and complaining about the cut in services.
The way I see it Tempe is now no longer an Interchange of any
importance, so services should be cut. If Wolli Creek does have a car
park why don't they use that instead, and if Wolli Creek doesn't have
a car park somone needs shooting.
