Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

[justinbrett]

In close to 40 trips to London over the years I still am yet to catch a train to the city. Always a cab or private driver or occasionally relatives if staying with them but I also don’t use trains to/from airports anywhere really and especially not SYD and doubt I’ll ever use the MEL one when completed. Each to their own though, some people swear by them

Hence the caveat "not many sensible people". You're either not sensible, or in the "not many" group.

You need better luggage. Wheel to the platform, wheel on the HEX, wheel off, get taxi. It's not hard and that just saved you an hour of traffic and a hundred pounds.

Speaking of Sydney specifically, I used to live in Bondi Junction. I only made the mistake once or twice in getting a cab to/from SYD airport even with a work cabcharge, it's so much quicker on the train.

Yeah, I do get that but whilst on holiday I want door to door service and happy to pay for the convenience

Unless you're arriving in the middle of the night, I wouldn't call being stuck in traffic a convenience.
