Phase one of the limited roll-on bike trial on Sydney-Dubbo XPT services concluded on 28 October 2024. Phase two of the trial is set to begin in 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phase One<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting Monday, 2 September 2024, NSW TrainLink conducted a limited trial allowing a small number of passengers to roll bicycles onto select XPT services travelling between Sydney and Dubbo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This limited proof-of-concept trial aimed to explore the feasibility of transporting bikes onboard long-distance regional trains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During the trial, a small number of passengers were able to board at Sydney (Central) or Dubbo with their bikes unboxed, provided they pre-booked their tickets and adhered to specific criteria. The trial was available exclusively for passengers travelling on services 427 (Sydney to Dubbo) and 428 (Dubbo to Sydney). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Phase Two<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For phase two, NSW TrainLink will focus on refining the trial to address community feedback on accessibility and interest to better meet the needs of everyone involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Any changes will be carefully considered in consultation with key groups, including our crew, health and safety experts, and union representatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NSW TrainLink is committed to keeping all stakeholders informed as we move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Updated information on the trial will be posted on this page. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Phase one of the limited roll-on bike trial on Sydney-Dubbo XPT services concluded on 28 October 2024.
