New NSW transport timetable gets tick SYDNEY'S new public transport timetable has passed its first peak-hour test, says NSW Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian. The new schedule adds an extra 2700 ferry, bus and train services across the network, but authorities admit it won't please every commuter. The NSW opposition says a cut in peak-hour services in Sydney's south contributed to the Liberals' defeat in Saturday's Miranda by-election. But Ms Berejiklian on Monday said the timetable was off to a flying start. Punctuality was recorded at 99.1 per cent for Sydney Trains and 97.6 per cent for NSW TrainLink, the minister said. "So far I've been pleased with the performance of the new timetable although obviously it is in the early stages and there is still the first afternoon peak to go," she said in a statement. Premier Barry O'Farrell agreed things were going well with the new timetable but warned people to expect minor hitches. "It's undoubted with a new timetable change of this dimension ... there will be some dislocation, there will be some disruptions," he told reporters on Monday. The government has downplayed the timetable as a factor in the by-election, with Ms Berejiklian on Sunday challenging anyone to count the extra services to Miranda, claiming there were now 149 more.
