I wonder what communication options there will be to Sydney CBD? At the moment it is about 1 hour by car.

My guess is that they would have something like Skybus like MEL

I wonder what is the strategy by any of the candidate carriers as to which services (if any) will be run from either Sydney airport. SYD/WSI transfers sound a bit funny. I suppose that's not intended to happen at all.

Asian carriers (eg SQ) strategy is probably centred on a midnight departure along the lines of those from MEL and BNE to feed their morning departure banks at their hub. Taking SQ as an example this would offer connections to SE Asia, China, India, Japan and even LHR.

Suspect on opening it will be temporary bus to St.Marys or maybe Penrith (until Metro opens) from which it's about an hour to Town Hall.

And a more permanent bus to Campbeltown, and maybe Parramatta.

I just don't see the need for dedicated transport to the CBD.
