Chief Executive’s
     message
     “Our commitment is to
     deliver to your expectations”

10               Sydney Trains Corporate Plan 2020/21
Our Corporate Plan 2020-2021 provides the
                                             strategic context for the initiatives we will take
                                             over the coming year, enabling us to continue
                                             offering world class public transport and freight
                                             services while ensuring we’re fit for the future.

                                             Sydney Trains is at the hub of Australia’s
                                             largest public transport system, and we play a
                                             vital role in providing seamless point-to-point
                                             journeys for our customers, shaping successful
                                             places across Greater Sydney and supporting
                                             a strong economy and quality of life for our
                                             community. This plan sets how we will build on
                                             the successes of 2019-2020 to support this role.

                                           These successes included welcoming the final
                                           teams to work at the new Rail Operations
                                           Centre, giving us additional capacity to improve
                                           network operations and incident response.
                                           We also collaborated closely with third party
                                           operators towards integration of the Metro at
                                           Central Station and Sydenham, and we took the
first steps towards becoming a digital railway. Our customer satisfaction rating remained
high at 90% and we continued to work towards achieving our peak punctuality target of
remaining within 5 minutes of the timetable.

The 2019-2020 year also brought unprecedented challenges, requiring a new level of
dedication and resilience from everyone at Sydney Trains. Teams worked to protect our
customers, our people and our infrastructure over the Black Summer bushfire season of
record intensity and duration. The work enabled our customers and freight to continue
travelling safely across the network. The subsequent Coronavirus outbreak required
innovation and agility across the organisation to support the community in the fight to
slow the spread. We continued running our full timetable throughout, with only minor
adjustments, providing vital support for our essential workers.

The plan for the next year is based on five strategic pillars – safety at the core, people at
the heart, customer at the centre, operational excellence and sustainability (financial and
environmental).These pillars have been put in place to shape our future planning in a way
that will help realise TfNSW’s Future Transport 2056 strategy. In the near term, they will
enable us to support the outcomes, ambitions and strategic priorities of the TfNSW 10
Year Blueprint.

All of this takes place against the background of significant budgetary constraints and
ongoing increased patronage, with forecasts that we will be providing more than 500
million annual passenger journeys within five years.

I am confident that the steps outlined here will enable us to address these challenges and
keep Sydney moving for the benefit of Greater Sydney and NSW this year, and for many
years to come.

I look forward to working with everyone at Sydney Trains as well as our partners and
stakeholders to achieve this.
