IMPORTANT TRAIN INFORMATION FOR APEC
Special timetables will apply on
three key days during September.
CityRail would like to advise students and staff of changes to train timetables during APEC which is being held in Sydney from 2-9 September.
During the event travel arrangements will change due to the security measures in place within the central business district.
As a result special APEC timetables will be in place for all CityRail
services on Friday 7, Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 September.
Friday 7 September is a local public holiday for workplaces in specific
council areas in metropolitan Sydney.
Students and staff who have to travel on this day will need to know how
their journeys will be affected, especially if they transfer between suburban and intercity or regional services.
You can also find out how the changes will affect buses, ferries and
roads within the city by picking up a copy of the APEC travel guide from any CityRail station.
