Corporate Plan Sydney Trains - Transport for NSW
The plan for the next year is based on
                                                three priorities – customer at the centre,
                                                operational excellence every day and
                                                sustainability is our future. These priorities
                                                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.
                                                They will be supported by our commitment
                                                to people at the heart and safety at our core.

                                                This takes place against a background
                                                of budgetary constraints and capacity
