Backroom Sydney Trains jobs come at the expense of those on the frontline

These are the figures that highlight the NSW Government’s attack on frontline transport services.

An examination of the number of workers employed in various roles within Sydney Trains, shows that while the number of frontline jobs has been slashed, backroom management roles have skyrocketed.

The Transport for NSW document reveals that ‘Corporate’, ‘Professional’, and ‘Senior Service’ roles have increased sharply, while train operations, train crew and station staff numbers have fallen considerably.

If this isn’t a clear sign that the NSW Government has its priorities all wrong when it comes to our transport systems, we’re not sure what is.
