  • GETTING Homesafely Anewapproach.Com.Au
    GETTING Home SAFELY Labor’s pLAN TO MAKE TRAIN TRAVEL SAFER ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS Labor understands that the people of NSW deserve safe, reliable and comfortable public transport. As part of providing a public transport service that meets community needs a Foley Government will do all it can to make travelling on public transport safer. That’s why Labor will: • Re-introduce Guardian train services on Friday and Saturday nights; and • Run all-night train services from Kings Cross to Town Hall and Central Stations. Feeling safe and having confidence in the security on our trains is a major factor for people choosing whether or not to use the rail network, especially for women, parents with children, and older and other vulnerable people. The NRMA’s Seeing Red on Rail reported personal security as the second most pressing issue for over 11,000 thousand commuters. 38% of commuters in this survey said that they do not feel safe at certain times of the day. The Sydney Trains network includes 12 lines, 176 stations and many interchanges. NSW TrainLink network includes 5 intercity lines and over 130 stations. It is a large area to cover. Knowing that there is assistance if other passengers are being anti-social, violent or abusive – especially at night, can increase the numbers of people using public transport as well as improve security. Under the Baird Liberal Government, security on the rail network has been cut. When the Liberals and Nationals came to government in 2011 there were 600 dedicated transit officers for trains and 300 commuter police attached to local area commands.

  • Contribution from the SMART Infrastructure Facility (University Ofwollongong) to the Inquiry Into the Australian Government's Role in the Development of Cities
    » A- 4t- smart ,iJr^)jL^;n.i-s r'iCu'L'/ CNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG AUSTRALIA Contribution from the SMART Infrastructure Facility (University ofWollongong) to the Inquiry into the Australian Government's role in the development of cities. Introduction The SMART Infrastructure Facility welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the inquiry and thanks the members of the Standing Committee on Infrastructure, Transport and Cities for their invitation, This contribution focuses on the second issue to be addressed by the inquiry: Growing new and transitioning existing sustainable regional cities and towns. SMART Infrastructure Facility is one of the largest research institutions in the world dedicated to helping governments and businesses better plan for the future. SMART'S work is augmented by collaborations with experts across UOW's Faculties in infrastructure-related fields such as energy generation and storage, water sustainability, environmental engineering, spatial geotechnics and social planning. When the $62 million SMART building opened in 2011 as Australia's first multi- disciplinary applied infrastructure research and training facility, it represented a commitment by the Australian and NSW Governments to apply a more scientific approach to infrastructure planning. Since opening, SMART has built an international profile working with government agencies in Australia and around the world, and has developed a strong network of global collaborators. SMART brings together experts from fields such as rail, infrastructure systems/ transport, water, energy, economics and modelling and simulation and provides 30 state-of-the art laboratories to facilitate this important research. This contribution will focus on three pieces of research that have direct relevance to the inquiry, namely: [1) I the Vision Illawarra regional planning tool, [2J the regional Digital Living Lab and [3) the study on transport connectivity between the Illawarra and Sydney [study commissioned by Ulawarra First).

  • Shorter South Coast Train Transit Times
    University of Wollongong Research Online Faculty of Engineering and Information Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B Sciences 2017 Shorter south coast train transit times Max Michell SAMROM Pty Ltd Philip G. Laird University of Wollongong, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://ro.uow.edu.au/eispapers1 Part of the Engineering Commons, and the Science and Technology Studies Commons Recommended Citation Michell, Max and Laird, Philip G., "Shorter south coast train transit times" (2017). Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B. 1612. https://ro.uow.edu.au/eispapers1/1612 Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Shorter south coast train transit times Abstract The paper outlines the development of the South Coast railway linking Sydney through Wollongong to Bomaderry that was completed in 1893 as single track for most of its length. During the 1914-1920 period, duplication and grade easing between Waterfall and Coacliff was completed at the expense of 4.96 km of additional distance and with continuous tight radius curves. This paper starts from the premise that a 60 minute journey time between Sydney and Wollongong is seen as a 21st Century commuting expectation. The authors look at the achievable gains for train operations arising from realignment through the most difficult section south ofater W fall, following which they comment on other strategies that would reduce commuting times. The paper identifies that this ealignmentr would be a necessary but incomplete solution, although addition of some other infrastructure and operational improvements would provide the foundation for reduction of existing 90 minute timings between Sydney and Wollongong to the desired 60 minutes.
