Lift Redfern Station 
My elderly uncle fell on the stairs at Redfern a few years ago and has never fully recovered in a number of ways. It amazes me that this incredibly busy station has never been upgraded with this facility – I think it shameful that the elderly and disabled in this area are left to cope when other government run facilities are improved all over the city and the rail network. Worth remembering that they and their families have votes too…
Please add the Redfern Aboriginal Men’s Group BABANA , to your list of supporters – Monday to Friday Redfern station is one of the busiest Raiway Stations in the State and the Redfern / Waterloo Dept Housing estates house so many people with disabilities who are dependent on public housing yet NO LIFTS AT REDFERN STATION , I have also seen so many mothers over the years struggle up Redfern station steps with their prams as well as the elderly yet NO LIFTS AT REDFERN STATION !!
Redfern station is an appalling bad, uninviting, overcrowded station. It does not address the basic needs of the daily commuter let alone any visitor to NSW.
Modernisation & improvements – particularly for access are a requirement for most world cities. Even London Underground had to re-fit as many underground stations with lifts and disabled access years ago – only claiming exemption on the oldest and most expensive to renovate sites.
No excuse CityRail – you’re service to the fare paying public is non existent. NSW Government – it would be wise for you to abandon your chauffeured-cars for a day and see what the masses have to endure… particularly on a wet rainy day…
