I noticed you took notice you took Cabramatta Towards Sefton, i didnt notice however if you got to go to Canley Vale, Fairfield, Yennora, Guildford and Merrylands stations, if you didnt thats 5 less potential stations you missed out on.
Hi Robert. This was after the full rollout of Opal. However, as the aim of the challenge is to remain within the network from start to finish, there are few opportunities to cross the ticket barriers during the day. In the London version, you are able to leave the station and walk to another, which often occurs due to station density. However, other than perhaps Macdonaldtown/Erskineville or some of the CBD stations, the same benefit does not occur in Sydney.
Definitely not. If that were the case it would take days to complete. You just need to be on a train that stops at every station. The first time I did it, I tried to step on a platform on every station.
lockster 3 I can’t remember the exact day of the week, but it was definitely not a weekend as the higher frequency of a weekday timetable is what makes this possible. In fact, most weekends have trackworks and that literally makes it impossible.
+Tanki Divide Back in the CityRail days it was possible to do that entire network over the course of 48 hours, though not starting and finishing at the same station. I believe someone recently did the entire NSW TrainLink network (presumably just the rail network and not the network of coaches) but that would take somewhere between a week and a month. Angus Kidman claims to have done it over the course of 2 weeks in this recent article: www.finder.com.au/why-that-sydney-canberra-high-speed-train-is-a-pipe-dream
