The additional NSW TrainLink train service to and from Sydney will start in 2020. Bathurst MP Paul Toole announced on Monday, March 4 that Rydal would be added to the route.
“People love the Bullet for being a fast way to take a day trip to Sydney,” Mr Toole said.
“But leaving at 5.46am and getting back at 9.32pm is not convenient for everyone. This new service doubles the options, making the journey more appealing to more people.”
On weekdays, the new service will depart Bathurst around 7.30am for Sydney. The afternoon return service, will leave Sydney around 3pm and arriving in Bathurst before 7pm. The additional service will operate seven days a week, with weekend morning runs operating at a similar time to the existing service and returning at a similar time to the new weekday service.
In a statement, Mr Toole said the Bathurst Bullet service had been popular since its launch in 2012, but the timing of the once a day service was not ideal for all customers, thereby limiting the full benefits of the service.
Further details on specific service timings will be released in 2019.
