I am sure it will be a great benefit there hope all goes to plan!
On another Terminal (not Sea related) we are going to have a second Airport Terminal built here at Badgerys Creek ,apparently its going to be a whopper!
Don't know the cost but will also be a great addition to the Sydney Airport!
But could take 10 Years to complete!
They are going to have a very fast train from there too,on the lines of the fast Japenese Bullet that can go over 600 kmh WOW!!!
Cheers

In the old days the Liners always called in at Plymouth to discharge passengers who were in a hurry to get to London,
Straight onto a train and in London a Day before they would have been.

The New Cruise Terminal at White Bay Sydney , is a pain. Miles away out of town and charged us 40 dollars to get to York Street.

Yes Capt
I recall when I saw you at the Hotel and you told me about that!
It is a pity that the new Terminal is a wee bit far away,but then I think there was no other option,but may be incorrect@!
I know too the distance as when I went down to see my Courtney on the HMAS Anzac I had to catch a Train to the Cross and then a bus! Could also get a Bus from Central direct but still a bot of a pain!
Cheers

Doc don't you have free transport for pensioners. JS

[Doc Vernon]

Hello JS
Well almost but not quite JS

We just pay a flat $2.50 a day out that Covers Trains,Busses,Ferries,Light Rail, which is very good value.
The Train fare includes right out to the Metropolitan Boundries if I recall out to the South Kiama, to the north Newcastle ? to the West Lithgow and cannot go too far East as we will land in the Drink LOL
Cheers

My dear Wife who also gets a part pension even though she still works full time is also able to make use of this ,so it costs her $2.50 a day to work and back which is a 180km round trip!
Not bad at all.
