Get a train to blacktown station, then to quakers hills station.

Get a bus from Quakers hill station to the uni

Or you can get a bus from blacktown station to the uni.

I think it's a Busways bus so just have a look on their website

Or go to the cityrail web site and they have a bit cant remember the name..travel map? travel plan? something like that...you can type in where you want to go to and where you're going frmo and they map out the buses and trains you can get for you:)

Blah, don't bother catching a bus.

Go to Quakers hill (catch Richmond or Riverstone trains).

Walk past the shops on the left side of the station. Then walk up the first street, until it ends. Turn right, then walk over a busy road :p And then your at UWS Blacktown ... you can't miss it :p Its about a 10 min walk.

nah there are...

but i know Jen and lol no offense Jen:) but your sense of direction is pretty crappy lol

if you dont know your way, tis better to hop on a bus and ask the driver what stop to get off at then have to walk around a suburb you've neva been to and figure out your own way:)

Click the link breaking put up. It has a map. Don't worry about it. You literally turn 3 times and your at uni, plus, you will see heaps of other people walking to uni, so just follow them :p Who cares if you carry a map :rolleyes:

When I first went to the Blacktown campus this semester. I had no bloody idea where I was going. I had a little map, but I just followed everyone else. Its not that far to walk, plus its cheaper than bus.

But don't worry, you should be fine :)

By the way the bus you want to catch is the 751 or the 752 from blacktown or from the bus stop across from the copshop. Itll drop you right outside the campus.

Because trains are absoulety shit on the richmond line - everyone will be basically on the same trains. Theres always people walking to uni, I see them walk to uni when I walk back from uni.

Hell, I even see people walking to uni, if I leave Richmond at 5pm (not the same campus, but similar thing :p)

I go to UWS Blacktown .. the walk is like 10 mins top from Quakers Hill station. The only problem is that trains going into Quakers from Blacktown only come once every 30 mins - but the worst is getting from Quakers back into the city. Every train I caught last week was 15 to 25 mins late.

The joys of City Rail. :p
