All cut.

My experiance was to the show was quite excelent. I too have the
luxuary (if you want to call it that) of both train (indirect) and bus
(direct) to the show. I caught the train to central, hopped off
straight to platform wait 2 mins on train. Arrive show. My only
dislike of the trains is that most that I seen were re-routed suburban
services, which mainly stopped a few times before Olympic Park. Maybe
some more direct expresses would be good.

Bus on way home was good also. Brand new Volvo B10B. Very
interesting to note that the only route operated by State Transit (4
to Maroubra via Rockdale) was entirly low floor, inlcuding most of the
new Volvo's. But interstingly none from Kingsgrove which is in the
middle of the route. Also intersting to note a few Surfside Buses,
including one that appeared to be in the new Gold Coast rail/bus
service colours.

From my experiance I would suggest that some tuning (new trains!!!)
would be required for the Olympics, but as a start the ORTA has done
well.
