The country ones go - Strathfield - Central. But I thought all trains other than them stopped at redfern

 

[Carlito]

Yeah, most of the intercity expresses skip redfern. I live up at hornsby, so if i get one of the trains that come from newcaste then i can get to central in 3 stops (Epping ---> Strathfield ---> Central) instead of like 20

A number of intercity services stop at Redfern during peak hours, but for those that don't and for those at other times of the day you can either transfer at Strathfield (if it passes through Strathfield) or Central for a train to Redfern.

 

[Carlito]

hmm... i think ill goto central

Redfern Station - Police Operation
CityRail advises that due to a police operation at Redfern, Police have requested that Redfern Station be closed for safety precautions.Commuters travelling to and from Redfern can expected lengthy delays.

Further information will be provided as it becomes available

in that case central is a better option- just get off and catch the bus...it wouldn't take u that long (i.e the bus).

btw, what do u mean, redfern station is closed?

That may explain why the station was closed... 'Redfern railway station has since reopened, but police were advising commuters to avoid the area.'

 

[freaking_out]

yeah, just saw that redfern riot on TV- boy it didn't look pleasant.

 

[freaking_out]

lol, this is what happened to redfern station last night:

"They burnt out one vehicle and they in fact were throwing Molotov cocktails both at police and at Redfern railway station during the course of the riot," Mr Waites said.

I was thinking of going to Uni tomorrow. Should I, Should I not??
