** BELMORE STATION CLOSED SAT 5/8***

Postby stubbsy on Fri Aug 05, 2005 12:02 am

Anyone planning to catch the train to Belmore station (and then birddog's on saturday think again. The entire Bankstown line (which passes through Belmore from the city) is closed for track work. Damn inconsiderate.

To quote cityrail:

Bankstown Line trains will not operate.
Buses will replace trains between Sydenham and Lidcombe via Bankstown
A regular train service will operate between the City and Sydenham.
Please allow an extra travel time of 30 minutes.

Replacement services
Bus Routes
Route 1: All stations Sydenham to Lidcombe and return
Route 2: Express Sydenham to Canterbury then Campsie, Belmore, Lakemba, Punchbowl, Bankstown and return.
Route 4: Express Sydenham to Canterbury then Campsie and return.
Route 5: All stations Bankstown to Cabramatta and return.
Route 5A: Express Bankstown to Cabramatta and return.
Route 7: All stations Lidcombe to Cabramatta (via Regents Park) and retur

Don't worry about it. We have transport from Airport to venues arranged for pretty much everyone. Likewise to the Saturday morning events. By the PM we'll have return details arranged. The rail closure just increases travel times. I'll be at Lavendar Bay with you and I'll know what's happening then.

I have your mobile number now.. so if anything goes wrong I'll just start calling.. got a whole list of names in my addressbook that start with D70 now..

Noticed that Gstark's number is inaccurate in the word document.. unless he has a slightly shorter phone number than the rest of us?

Peter,
Not to worry about the train line, you're not going to the train station at Belmore, you'll come with me and Dean to the AP, then both of you will meet Nicole and kipper to catch a train to LP.
On the way back, we have few empty cars as Ray + Onyx will come to the mini meet, HP wil go home on the same way and her base is not to far from me so, they will give you a lift home.
One thing made me worry, will you take all your cellar down here for the AW? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

bugger!!
I'm going to have leave at 2pm to get there in time then. I'll have to go and ask what time that bus service stops operating at night.
THanks for the heads up Peter.
