Catching the Train

I can't remember the last time I caught the train, but somewhat shocked that it costs $7 return from Cabramatta to the City (and that's off peak prices). For the two of us, it would have been just as cheap to drive and park! (so much for the environment).

We went in to see the 80's exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum, which was alot of fun.

The train to the city wasn't air-conditioned and was the 'Ho Chi Minh Trail' going Cabra, via Bankstown and Marrickvillle - someone at Cityrail has been researching... but I digress, it was hot, and long... not at all pleasant. And the view... well I'll let you be the judge of that.

On the way back mercifully we got a direct train that was also air-conditioned, wasn't too bad an experience, if only they were all like that, and tickets were half the price, then the train might be a worthwhile proposition.

yeah, I don't miss catching the train.

I too, caught an off peak train and was also shocked by the $6 odd dollar return fare from Bankstown to City this year.

Last time it cost something like $4 off peak... so must have been quite some time ago.

Glad you enjoyed the Bankstown line scenery (not)
Marrickville/Sydenham outlook has not changed at all..... the attractive industrial look.

cheers
