Sydney Trains Corporate Plan 2020/21 9 Chief Executive’s message “Our commitment is to deliver to your expectations” 10 Sydney Trains Corporate Plan 2020/21 Our Corporate Plan 2020-2021 provides the strategic context for the initiatives we will take over the coming year, enabling us to continue offering world class public transport and freight services while ensuring we’re fit for the future. Sydney Trains is at the hub of Australia’s largest public transport system, and we play a vital role in providing seamless point-to-point journeys for our customers, shaping successful places across Greater Sydney and supporting a strong economy and quality of life for our community. This plan sets how we will build on the successes of 2019-2020 to support this role. These successes included welcoming the final teams to work at the new Rail Operations Centre, giving us additional capacity to improve network operations and incident response. We also collaborated closely with third party operators towards integration of the Metro at Central Station and Sydenham, and we took the first steps towards becoming a digital railway. Our customer satisfaction rating remained high at 90% and we continued to work towards achieving our peak punctuality target of remaining within 5 minutes of the timetable. The 2019-2020 year also brought unprecedented challenges, requiring a new level of dedication and resilience from everyone at Sydney Trains. Teams worked to protect our customers, our people and our infrastructure over the Black Summer bushfire season of record intensity and duration. The work enabled our customers and freight to continue travelling safely across the network. The subsequent Coronavirus outbreak required innovation and agility across the organisation to support the community in the fight to slow the spread. We continued running our full timetable throughout, with only minor adjustments, providing vital support for our essential workers. The plan for the next year is based on five strategic pillars – safety at the core, people at the heart, customer at the centre, operational excellence and sustainability (financial and environmental).These pillars have been put in place to shape our future planning in a way that will help realise TfNSW’s Future Transport 2056 strategy. In the near term, they will enable us to support the outcomes, ambitions and strategic priorities of the TfNSW 10 Year Blueprint. All of this takes place against the background of significant budgetary constraints and ongoing increased patronage, with forecasts that we will be providing more than 500 million annual passenger journeys within five years. I am confident that the steps outlined here will enable us to address these challenges and keep Sydney moving for the benefit of Greater Sydney and NSW this year, and for many years to come. I look forward to working with everyone at Sydney Trains as well as our partners and stakeholders to achieve this.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. Cumberland City Council also acknowledges other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living and working in the Cumberland Local Government Area. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS Cumberland City Council would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who participated in this research. This report would not have been possible without your time and willingness to share your stories and experiences. Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents findings from research into key transport and mobility challenges for the Cumberland community. This research was conducted between August 2019 and April 2020 and is grounded in empirical data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Transport for NSW, amongst other sources, and extensive community engagement. Quality transport options are fundamental to accessing many essential services, education, employment and social and recreational activities. Although three train lines run through the Cumberland LGA, in addition to the T80 high frequency bus route, many Cumberland residents still have difficulties getting around. Major barriers raised by the community relate to reliability, frequency and coverage of services.

  • Digital Starting Blocks: the Sydney Metro Experience Samantha Mcwilliam1, Damien Cutcliffe2 1&2WSP, Sydney, AUSTRALIA Corresponding Author: [email protected]
    Digital starting blocks: The Sydney Metro experience Samantha McWilliam1, Damien Cutcliffe2 1&2WSP, Sydney, AUSTRALIA Corresponding Author: [email protected] SUMMARY Sydney Metro is currently Australia’s biggest public transport project. Stage 1 and 2 of this new standalone railway will ultimately deliver 31 metro stations and more than 66 kilometres of new metro rail, revolutionising the way Australia’s biggest city travels. Once it is extended into the central business district (CBD) and beyond in 2024, metro rail will run from Sydney’s booming North West region under Sydney Harbour, through new underground stations in the CBD and beyond to the south west. Sydney Metro City and Southwest (Stage 2) features twin 15.5km tunnels along with 7 new underground stations between Chatswood and Sydenham. The line is extended beyond Sydenham with an upgrade of the existing Sydney Trains heavy rail line to Bankstown. The adoption of a digital engineering approach on the Sydney Metro City and Southwest project resulted in an unprecedented level of collaboration and engagement between designers, clients and stakeholders. The use of tools such as WSP’s bespoke web based GIS spatial data portal Sitemap allowed geographically mapped data to be made securely available to all stakeholders involved on the project, enabling the team to work off a common data set while simultaneously controlling/restricting access to sensitive data. Over the course of the project this portal was enhanced to act as a gateway to all other digital content developed for such as live digital design models, virtual reality and augmented reality content. This portal was the prototype for what is now called ‘WSP Create’.

NUMBER: Working Paper ITLS-WP-19-05 TITLE: Collaboration as a service (CaaS) to fully integrate public transportation – lessons from long distance travel to reimagine Mobility as a Service Integrated mobility aims to improve multimodal integration to ABSTRACT: make public transport an attractive alternative to private transport. This paper critically reviews extant literature and current public transport governance frameworks of both macro and micro transport operators. Our aim is to extent the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), a proposed coordination mechanism for public transport that in our view is yet to prove its commercial viability and general acceptance. Drawing from the airline experience, we propose that smart ticketing systems, providing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) can be extended with governance and operational processes that enhance their ability to facilitate Collaboration-as-a-Service (CaaS) to offer a reimagined MaaS 2.0 = CaaS + SaaS. Rather than using the traditional MaaS broker, CaaS incorporates operators more fully and utilises their commercial self-interest to deliver commercially viable and attractive integrated public transport solutions to consumers. This would also facilitate more collaboration of private sector operators into public transport with potentially new opportunities for taxi/rideshare/bikeshare operators and cross geographical transport providers (i.e.

    Transport NSW GOVERNMENT for NSW Our Ref: 00793074 Your Ref: R15/0016 Out-00028736 Ms Tara McCarthy Chief Executive Local Government NSW GPO Box 7003 SYDNEY NSW 2001 Dear Ms McCarthy Thank you for your correspondence on behalf of Local Government NSW about train services to the Liverpool Local Government Area and to growth and regional areas. Improving transport is important to our customers and essential to businesses and the NSW economy as we grow, so we have made tackling this issue a priority. For too long transport was neglected across NSW, so we are investing $51.2 billion in long overdue improvements in roads and public transport to ensure infrastructure keeps pace with our needs. As Liverpool City Council would be aware, the Liverpool area has already benefited from the substantial timetable improvements introduced in 2017. For example, express services via the T3 Bankstown Line were introduced, with six trains per hour and a journey time to the CBD of only 53 minutes. This is up to nine minutes faster than the journey via the T2 Leppington/lnner West Line. Nearly 90 per cent of Liverpool customers now have access to peak period turn-up-and-go services, with a train every 10 minutes or better. The T5 Cumberland Line was also provided 280 new services each week, including late night and weekend services. New direct links between Leppington, Parramatta and Blacktown further connect South West and North West Sydney. These changes have been a resounding success, with a 30 per cent growth in patronage from the South West to Parramatta.
