This includes travel within the approved times between 6.30am and 7.00pm from Monday to Friday on school days only. Students must use their Child/Youth Opal card for any travel outside these times.
All students are required to comply with the

Updates to Transport NSW Train timetables
Updates to Transport NSW Train timetables
From Saturday 19 April 2025, Transport NSW will make changes to some train services on the T1 North Shore, T5 Cumberland, Hunter and Central Coast and Newcastle Lines.
These changes are being introduced as part of a regular review of train services to improve services for passengers.
Some T1 North Shore services will be extended from Hornsby to Berowra, improving connectivity for school students travelling home on the T1 North Shore Line in both directions.
As a result, minor adjustments will also be made to the departure times of some weekday afternoon services for all stations on the T1 North Shore Line from Hornsby to Roseville.
On the T5 Cumberland Line, adjustments will be made to the departure times of eight weekday off-peak services, improving connections for passengers interchanging to T1 Western Line services at Seven Hills travelling towards the Sydney CBD.
On the Central Coast & Newcastle Line there will be an adjustment to the departure platform of one service.
All adjustments are minor but may mean some services arrive a little earlier, or depart later, or there are additional services available which weren’t an option previously.
The adjustments are part of a regular review of services by Sydney Trains and are now visible on transportnsw.info and travel apps.
