Cityrail - Football specials?

[marconigirl]

just a question, Do we know which of the trains stop at Epping? or do all of them?

Also, scummer free trains are good.. but not as fun.. but I suppose the fun will be walking to the game and at the game..

 

[Rowdy]

just match the departure times from Gosford to those on here:

and see which ones stop at Epping  .

Nice work Roddy, thanks mate

The '11.10' and '12.10' look like the go! Lets get em both full from front to back with YELLOW PEOPLE!!

Rhys, the pub 'spills out' onto the street. I will have my 16yo boys with me and there are usually a few other under ages with their parents or older relatives etc, so won't be a prob.

 

[rhys100]

so if im coming from gosford on a train.. which station should i be getting off and how far a walk to the stadium is it??

 

[FFC Mariner]

Get off at Central.

Either walk up the hill and follow the crowd or catch one of the shuttle buses.

 

[rhys100]

and k.b. is somewhere between central and the stadium? anyone got a map for me?

 

[Omni]

You could spit at the KB from central in a high wind, if you walk towards the SFS you won't miss it!

 

[poetryintheblood]

Apparently Newcastle have been allocated a train for Sunday, typical, but then again it's being done to keep an eye on them, which we don't need, so what does that say? that's right, WE ARE THE BETTER SUPPORTERS, and YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!

Just saying how close it is! I'm not suggesting that one should actually spit at the Marinators Sydney Home.

Too bad for the people who can't leave til just before 3pm.

Hello all,

I have just had 2 phone calls in 20 minutes from Railcorp. They have informed me that:

*Due to demand, trains from Newcastle to the GF have had their stopping pattern altered to now INCLUDE Cardiff and Morisset stations
*On the way home, Railcorp will have signs up from platforms 4-9 at Central indicating separate Newcastle AND Central Coast trains. There will be 4 separate trains waiting for crowds at Central after the game, which should be able to be amended if extra time is played. The Newcastle train will be an express, with ours following BEHIND it and stopping all stations. There will be a plethora of Transit Officers, Cityrail staff and Police on hand to get us all out of Sydney safely and peacefully.
*Each train will have at least 4 Transit Officers on board.
*Railcorp has asked that Mariners fans going home FROM MINGARA be respectful of others and patient at Tuggerah Station, as there is a fair chance that some people will be at Tuggerah at the same time as Monday morning commuters.
*AS you would probably know, there are also standby trains at Gosford and now Wyong if things go slightly pear-shaped.

Please PM me if you need further clarification. I am on nightshift tonight from 8.00pm, without access to a computer, so please call me on 0421 922 910 if required.

Again, I wish to give credit to all of you for contacting Cityrail and making them aware of potential problems and also possible solutions. I also must give credit to Cityrail for doing their level best on what is a unique situation.

Best regards,

David Redden
Marinators Club President

To all those who helped in any way to bring about the train arrangement.

Give yourselves a big pat on the back well done and that also goes to the Jets who helped as well.
