Cityrail Timetable Revision

Mr PHOTIOS: My question without notice is directed to the Minister for Transport, and Minister for Tourism. Do the Minister's CityRail briefing notes attached to his 12 May train timetable reveal 883 services to be cut from CityRail stations each day? Has the Minister not released his revised timetable because it would provide a worse service than even the current timetable provides?

Mr SPEAKER: Order! I call the honourable member for Pittwater to order for the second time.

Mr LANGTON: I repeat: at the weekend the Premier and I announced -

Mr SPEAKER: Order! The honourable member for Ermington will leave the Chamber if he continues to interject.

Mr LANGTON: I repeat: at the weekend the Premier and I announced the appointment of David Hill as Chief Executive of the State Rail Authority. At that time we said that he had one specific, clear, immediate task: to get trains running on time.

Mr SPEAKER: Order! I call the honourable member for Pittwater to order for the third time.

Mr LANGTON: I assure this House that as of Sunday afternoon Mr Hill has been working on that task. He is examining existing and proposed timetables and will make an announcement about changes as soon as possible.
