From SMH letters - Constance slammed
  Tony Galloway

No-one takes this Constance clown and the kleptocratic Mac St regime seriously any more, even their rusted on voters have had a gutful, as the upcoming Cootamundra byelection will demonstrate.

An impressive list from NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance (Letters, August 18) of rail services and trains he proposes for the Sydney network. Sure hope he keeps the train drivers onside so they can be delivered.

Sorry, I can't wait for future improvement in rail services, Mr Constance. I am more concerned about my travel comfort here and now! I would invite our transport minister to join, if he can gain a foothold, all the tired travellers on an afternoon four-carriage train to Nowra. Squeeze on at, say, Sutherland after changing from a suburban train but do not expect comfort for the next two hours. As one exhausted co-traveller remarked, the only seat you might get is in the toilet.

Andrew Constance states there will be 24 new express services to the Blue Mountains on weekends. Yet I just received a pamphlet from Sydney Trains stating that all work to deal with issues around the new trains that don't fit the line will be done on weekends. More express services are needed during the week, but judging by the gloating of the minister over the sacking of rail workers due to technology it is obvious workers are low down the list compared to cashed-up tourists.

Andrew Constance has again revealed the government's anti-union bias and its failure to appreciate the value the public places on government service provision ("Constance says private sector is transport future", August 17). Driverless, single-deck, lacking seating, and not integrated with the heavy rail system trains, all highlight this government's failure to consider all factors. Then again, it makes it simpler to sell it off to a profit taker not a service provider.
