Sydney Trains is a train operator owned by the New South Wales Government and operates all suburban passenger rail services in Sydney, Australia, maintains the New South Wales Metropolitan Rail Area, and maintains all but a handful of operational railway stations in the state. Sydney Trains is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) statutory authority.〔(Annual Report 30 June 2012 ) RailCorp〕〔(About the Reform ) Sydney Trains〕 The network is a hybrid suburban-commuter railway with a central underground core that serves 178 stations over 815 km of track. The network has 20 hours a day operation with train frequencies of every three minutes or better in the underground core, 5–10 minutes at most major stations all day, 15 minutes at most minor stations all day and four trains an hour on the Cumberland Line. On weekends service is less frequent with headways of upwards of a half hour on outer stations with frequencies of less than 10 minutes in the underground core.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Timetables )〕 Ticketing is provided by the New South Wales MyZone and Opal card systems. ==History== In May 2012 the Minister for Transport announced a restructure of RailCorp.〔("RailCorp job cuts first of many: unions" ) ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 15 May 2012〕〔("Ruthless RailCorp reforms planned as middle management axed" ) ''Daily Telegraph'' 15 May 2012〕〔(Corporate Plan 2012/13 ) RailCorp〕〔(700 jobs to go as RailCorp gets the axe ) ''Daily Telegraph'' 16 November 2012〕 This resulted in all suburban services in the Sydney Metropolitan area bounded by Berowra, Emu Plains, Macarthur and Waterfall transferring from CityRail to Sydney Trains on 1 July 2013. Intercity and Hunter Line services previously operated by CityRail are now operated by NSW TrainLink which was also formed as part of the restructure.〔 In April 2013 the Sydney Trains logo was unveiled.〔(Fixing the Trains: New approach to customer service ) Transport for NSW 18 April 2013〕 Nicknamed ''The Hop'', the new logo replaced the ''L7'' logo that has been carried on Sydney's trains in various colours since introduced by the Public Transport Commission in the 1970s and was still carried by most trains, even though officially superseded by the ''Waratah'' logo in 2009. In July 2013 Howard Collins OBE the former Chief Operating Officer from London Underground was appointed as Chief Executive of Sydney Train 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sydney Trains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
