SYD T1 International Terminal Private Pick Up

[clifford]

Gosh I love those "authorised traffic management controllers" in the fluro orange coloured jackets around the airports.

Instead of assisting with traffic flow eg. telling drivers to move on when parked or stopped illegally to minimise traffic issues .. these guys like to stand back, input their registration number into their little PDA's and issue an infringement fine in the mail a few days later.

If that same person tapped on the driver's window and said "move on now" ... everyone would have been happy incl. the many of other drivers who were delayed.

Guess when you have an infringement quota* to fulfil or your job is "at risk"* if you don't meet those targets ... then it becomes a conflict of interest.


* these are my assumptions

Just put false plates on and everything will be fine.

Just for comparison purposes, Mrs NM picked me up from BNE domestic this morning. She parked in the regular short term car park, walked in and met me at the baggage carousel before returning to the car. Cost was $2 for parking.

Thanks ejb...I did check and there are lifts at all 3 stations T1-Central and Epping...not sure what they service though.

All the platforms will be covered so you can use the lifts if you wish (as long as none are out of order).

Thanks ejb...I did check and there are lifts at all 3 stations T1-Central and Epping...not sure what they service though. So hopefully the trains will have plenty of room on a Saturday afternoon and I don't have to lug the baggage up and down stairs.

T1 should have an escalator, so can probably avoid the lift.

It might also be worth trying to check the final distination of your train. Sometimes when coming from parramata way, the train did the city loop and then turned into an airport train and v.v. Could be that you don't even have to change train at central.

Epping,Central, and International Airport all have lift/escelator access..

From Epping the quickest way is a train from the Central Coast which will be first stop Eastwood,Strathfield then Central, then at Central goto Platform 23 to the Airport.
