Thank you. I work three days a week in the office in the city. At least once a fortnight the trains are cancelled or significantly delayed. Everyone's had enough and a lot of people now drive.

Well the punctuality of Sydney's train system has been 💩💩💩💩 for decades, irrespective of the governing party.

If the clowns at the RTBU or whatever they are didn’t strike every 10 minutes for a year, those stats may look better.

I used to be so proud of Sydney's rail system and swore by it, over driving, for commuting; Today however, I would definitely drive! My granddaughter attempts to commute to Newcastle by train and the trains are completely unreliable - they often don't arrive at all and usually without any notice, leaving her stranded as no alternative form of transport is offered. Our trains apparently can't cope with rain, or heat, or wind, or . . . Our marvellous train system is systematically being ruined! The staff however have managed to "negotiate" a mammoth pay rise. Funny that!

The NSW Labor government should have sacked the bulk of the NSW railways management as soon as they took office, starting at the top. How can improvements be achieved if the individuals responsible for the failures of the previous LNP government are still running the system? The former Labor Minister for Transport, Jo Haylen, appointed a pair of incompetents - both severely criticized by Mr Justice McInerney at the Waterfall crash inquiry - to conduct a review of Sydney trains that was supposed to identify the causes of problems and offer some remedies. One member of that review committee had been sacked by Michael Costa, the former Minister for Transport for ignoring evidence of problems with safety equipment that had directly contributed to the Waterfall crash and the other had no formal qualifications in safety management but claimed to be "self educated". Hardly surprising then that their defective review has been abandoned and a new one is underway, hopefully with a better outcome.

Failure costing taxpayers a fortune.

Good to see that the new Rail Operations Centre at Green Square is living up to all the hype. Coincidentally that opened in 2019. Yes they have had major incidents to deal with and industrial disputes but where is the leadership and the focus on improving the customer journey that they crowed about during the induction training we were given.

Everybody in Sydney will be competing for property along the metro lines.

Time for a circuit breaker and give management back the power to start managing again.

And when you get back in government if ever, what will you do? Let's face it be honest and transparent half the issues where caused by the previous liberal government. Complete and utter tools. Just look at the wage bill, trippled the management.

You Libs did NOTHING to improve the. Network when you were last in power and you Libs created the fat cat Transport for NSW bureaucracy

As we saw with the last federal election the majority of voters are sick to death of negative, mud slinging and 'we will detail our policies after we get elected" style of politics, so here is your opportunity to do something different. Give us a detailed well funded plan of how you would address all the performance, safety, equipment and infrastructure failures in public transport WELL BEFORE the next election. And while you are at it you could also admit that a lot of the failures in public transport were as a result of your party's decisions when previously in government. Honesty is the best policy.

Still cant forget how you said you would never vote for mining under our dams Mark and then did exactly that after we voted for you. Make no mistake we wont be fooled by your lies ever again Mark!

Both caused by your party lol

Always remember Mrs Corbett when I think of my younger days at the netball courts 🙏💕

Netball in the Sutherland Shire owes a lot to Margaret she was a tireless worker and promoted the game. 🌟 ⭐️

Sad news , an absolute icon for Netball. Will be sadly missed by her many friends and family

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Margaret over many years at camps for junior netballers - a true legend

A special lady, who gave to her community. Thinking of her family at this time.

Margaret selected my daughter Megan Shatar when she was 15 years old into the talented netball squad NSW. A wonderful netball family member xxxx

Thoughts and prayers are with the family!💜💜

A sad loss 💕

One of my greatest privileges as Netball NSW President was to present Margaret with her Legend status in 2019 - and what a witty speech she gave that night, as she always did 👏 So sad to hear the news of her passing, but so thankful for the opportunity we all had to spend time and learn from this beautiful, selfless lady. A legend always.

Margaret also took up a role on the Board of Sport NSW in the earlier years and was supportive of improving all sports across the Board. Quite a character

Corby was one of a kind who dedicated so much of her time to netball throughout NSW. She inspired so many coaches & players & her legacy will live on through so many. Thank you and RIP Corby 🌻 My condolences to all the family 💐

An amazing champion of netball !

🙏❤️

A wonderful legacy she has left her dedication to netball was inspiring. Condolences to the family.
