George Karpouzis was chief economist at RailCorp and is now a consultant economist Abstract The value of rail time is an important economic parameter in the evaluation of many rail infrastructure projects, translating travel time savings into dollars to compare against project costs. For Sydney, the value of onboard train travel time has been estimated through Stated Preference market research. Three surveys have been undertaken over the last two decades. The first was undertaken in 1992; the second in 2003 and the third in 2010. Between 1992 and 2010, the value of time has been updated by reference to movements in fare and latterly by reference to wage rate indices.

  • Cityrail Performance Update
    Sydney Trains Performance Update Comparison with International Benchmarking Groups [2018 data] • Membership of international benchmarking groups allows Sydney Trains to compare its performance to international peers and, through sharing best practices, identify opportunities for improvement. • Sydney Trains belongs to the International Suburban Railway Benchmarking Group (ISBeRG), which comprises 14 suburban railways. Typically, these railways link the suburbs to the CBD, with longer lines and larger networks than metros, but with fewer, longer, passenger journeys. Sydney Trains joined this group in 2011. • Sydney Trains is also a member of the ‘Nova’ group, which is part of the wider ‘Community of Metros’. The Community of Metros consists of: o ‘CoMET’, a group of 20 of the world’s largest metros. Its constituents typically have more than 500 million passenger journeys per annum. o ‘Nova’ is a group of 22 small to medium-sized metros, typically with fewer than 500 million passenger journeys per annum. Sydney Trains joined the Nova benchmarking group in September 2007. • Benchmarking between the members of the various groups is undertaken annually. This document provides a provisional update of selected charts from Sydney Trains’ previously published report and shows results for the calendar years 2014 to 2018. To preserve confidentiality of other members’ data, Sydney Trains’ performance is compared to the: o average of all ISBeRG Members o average of all CoMET Members o average of all Nova Members o individual ISBeRG members, on an anonymised basis • In some cases there are changes to previously published figures due to revision of data. Comparison to averages may disguise some significant ‘highs’ and ‘lows’ in performance: individual results within each group may vary significantly.

Source: State Library of NSW and Berala Hotel Sydney Metro will be the final nail in the coffin for train services to the City from Berala with the Bankstown Line cut in half, so if the NSW Government fails to restore the Inner West Line (City to Liverpool/Bankstown via Regents Park) and continues downgrading train services with the opening of Metro Southwest in 2024, it will be safe to say that public transport was better 100 years ago Contents Submission for “Sydenham – Bankstown Line Conversion” Inquiry .....................................................................

  • Inquiry Into Transport Needs of Sydney's North
    General Purpose Standing Committee No 4 Inquiry into Transport Needs of Sydney’s North-West Sector Submission by Michael Richardson MP Member for Castle Hill 1 Public Transport in Castle Hill The State electorate of Castle Hill (formerly The Hills) has suffered more than any other from from the Carr/Iemma/Rees Government’s prevarication over public transport over the past 10 years. In 1998 the Government’s Action for Transport Plan promised a two-station rail link to Castle Hill by 2010, with a four-station optional extension to Rouse Hill (then in the electorate) to be delivered by 2014. This latter option subsequently became part of the substantive proposal, with the result that the projected cost of the rail link blew out from $600 million to more than $2.5 billion. However, this is still substantially less than the $12 billion North-West Metro which the Government announced earlier this year. Over the space of a decade there has been a 2000 per cent increase in the cost of moving people from north-west Sydney to the City, which is clearly a major reason for the Rees Government’s reluctance to commit to the Metro. Lines on maps are cheap; tunnelling isn’t, and we are still to see as much as a single sleeper of any new rail line laid. The Action for Transport Plan also committed to completing the Parramatta-Epping link, and this is still needed, for a range of reasons outlined below. This line would be an extension of the single-track Carlingford line, which currently terminates in the only railway station in Baulkham Hills Shire.

  • 2009 Getting It Right Sydney Metro
    Getting it right: the Sydney Metro Tuesday, June 2, 2009 By Riccardo I’m glad my recent post on incrementalism received a lot of responses and debate. I’ll move on from that to talk about the recent experience of the Sydney urban rail system under the dying government of Nathan Rees. I’ve blogged a few times on what I see as the paradox of a dying government with a history of poor decision-making and inappropriate relationships – actually getting it right. How is it I can say it is right when: -the route is incomplete and somewhat hard to justify -the cost seems exhorbitant for the short length involved -the outcry from those areas that missed out, such as the NW suburbs, is deafening -and the federal Infrastructure Department found it so wanting, it missed out on funding? My answer to this paradox is: because they have got the service model and technology right – and everything else is something that can wait for another day. Why is this important? Because Australia has had, for a very long time, perhaps since the beginning, a misconceived and misapplied approach to rail planning and investment, and a poor operating culture, which incremental investment approaches have only perpetuated. A dying government, in its last days and with little financial or planning credibility left, has actually thrown the right spanner in the works, called a halt to the Australian rail paradigm once and for all. A commendable step. We’ll have to see if this line survives the transition to a Liberal Government.

  • Inter-Regional Public Transport Inquiry
    18 May 2012 The Hon Andrew Gee Chairman State and Regional Development Committee Parliament House Macquarie St Sydney NSW 2000 Dear Chair, INTER-REGIONAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT INQUIRY Infrastructure Partnerships Australia (IPA) would like to thank the Legislative Assembly State and Regional development Committee for the opportunity to comment on the important area of inter- regional public transport in New South Wales. A reliable and efficient regional transport network is essential for the economic and social viability of New South Wales’ rural communities. In the context of a geographically dispersed population, transport is critical for connecting rural communities; regional businesses rely on transport to gain access to essential goods and services and individuals require transport connections to access education and critical health services. In the context of an increasingly constrained budget position and a requirement to enhance both the quality and reliability of regional and interurban rail services, it is timely to consider how substantial reforms might achieve these aims at better value for money to taxpayers and commuters. IPA notes with interest the reforms recently announced by the NSW Government under the ‘Fixing the Trains’ initiative. The restructuring of RailCorp to form two new entities – NSW Trains and Sydney Trains – achieves a number of welcome structural reforms to improve the value and quality of regional and inter-regional rail services. By structurally separating service provision and maintenance from infrastructure ownership, which remains a separate government entity, NSW Trains and Sydney Trains will be free to concentrate on service provision and customer services. Equally, by separating NSW Trains and Sydney Trains into distinct entities, the two organisations will be able to bring a renewed and dedicated focus to the improvement of urban and regional services.
