Commuters will benefit from a faster travel time and more space on Sydney Light Rail, with more than 810 extra services added to the L2 Randwick and L3 Kingsford Lines.
\nThere are now an additional 518 services a week, on top of the 294 services added on 18 May. Service frequency has also increased with services around every 4 minutes between Circular Quay and Moore Park and around every 8 minutes in the South East, between 7am \u2013 7pm weekdays.
\nMinister for Transport Andrew Constance said the new timetable will deliver end-to-end journey time benefits.
\n\u201cSince the L3 Kingsford Line opened to customers on 3 April, we have used the quieter than normal period to make improvements to traffic signal phasing and the infrastructure and systems in place,\u201d Mr Constance said.
\n\u201cSince April, we\u2019ve seen end-to-end journey times of around 38-40 minutes for both the L2 and L3 Lines.
\n\u201cAs the new timetable is bedded in, we will see further improvements to the end-to-end journey time with services running around 38 minutes on the L2 Randwick and L3 Kingsford Lines.\u201d
\nThe new timetable will provide another 26,900 spaces each week, supporting people returning to jobs and school while allowing for safe physical distance.
\n\u201cThere is also free temporary event-style parking at Moore Park, where people can drive then jump on a light rail into the city,\u201d Mr Constance said.
\nOn the L1 Dulwich Hill Line, a further 55 services have been temporarily added between 10am and 3pm to provide a consistent 10min service on weekdays.
