Get excited tonyp!O'Farrell announces daily rail service to Sydney
PREMIER Barry O’Farrell has announced a daily commuter rail service will run between Bathurst and Sydney starting from October.
The initiative is being made possible thanks to a $7 million upgrade of a diesel Endeavour train.
It is expected the service will cost $1 million a year to run and will provide 200 seats with carriages fitted with toilets and a dedicated space for luggage.
Current CityRail ticket prices and concessions will apply to the service, including pensioner excursion tickets.
The train will depart Bathurst at 5.40am and arrive at Central at 9.25am. A return service will leave Sydney at 5.55pm and arrive in Bathurst at 9.30pm.
The premier is in Bathurst today to attend a community cabinet at Mount Panorama
