22 Apr 2010 - SECOND EDITION OF RAIL PLAN
FROGS RAIL PLAN EDITION 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY No other city in the world runs their entire metropolitan services with double-deck trains – either the whole world is wrong or Sydney is. FROGS is calling for the introduction of modern single-deck metro-style trains on existing tracks.
01 Dec 2009 - FROGS RELEASES REVOLUTIONARY RAIL PLAN
For too long, transport plans to reform Sydney’s ailing system have been expensive and impractical. With this mind, The 10,000 Friends of Greater Sydney set itself the challenge of coming up with a plan that the Government could afford and was practical in the short to medium-term. What we have come up with is a simple idea that has eluded planners for years. The plan is basically this: we will divide the current network into two systems using existing tracks. One track system will operate exclusively as Metro-style while the other will be a double decker system. We will also introduce state-of-the art signalling, which will see more trains per hour and dramatically increase passenger numbers. Once developed, this plan can be easily added to, and will see rail extensions and new lines to the east, north west, west and south west.
