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, or board and sit close to the guard’s compartment on the train, indicated with a blue light.

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.
