Handover is not October 31. The line is Sydney Trains' as of Monday, all handover documentation has been completed.

Lol good luck with crew training starting next week....

No assumptions or assertions, it is quite common knowledge within transport that there is no direct service to the city on the SWRL, I just wouldn't want to raise the hopes of the good folk of this fo ...

TripView.
