Why are we asking our customers to interchange at Wolli Creek for trains to the Airport? A rail replacement bus can take more than 42 minutes to travel from Central Station to International Airport Station. By train, from Central Station to International Airport Station via Wolli Creek it will only take between 17 and 24 minutes, including interchange and wait time at Wolli Creek.

Wolli Creek is not a usual station to interchange at for many of our customers. Because of this, many of our customers may be travelling on a route unfamiliar to them, and we need your help to assist them with accurate interchange advice. Your assistance is crucial to the success of this train plan.

Please make the targeted Wolli Creek interchange announcements. Thank you.
