When travelling at night
- Try to use well-lit, main roads and avoid travelling alone at night
- Make sure someone knows that you are travelling and if you can, it’s helpful to carry a mobile phone
- On the platform, stand in an area which is brightly lit, covered by CCTV and close to Emergency Help Points
- Try to sit close to the Emergency Help Points where provided on trains
- If there are other passengers on the train, try to sit near them and not to become isolated.
NightRide
Most trains do not operate between midnight and 4.30am. Instead, NightRide bus services are available between these hours on most Sydney suburban lines. All buses have radio contact with taxi operators and a taxi can be requested to meet you at your destination.
Guardian services
Transit officers work closely with NSW Police to patrol trains and platforms. They have the authority to issue on-the-spot fines as well as the power of arrest.
Guardian services operate on selected lines on Friday and Saturday night services. Transit officers travel on board each Guardian service and work closely with train crew and station staff to give you further peace of mind when travelling at night.
