Hey! I was just wondering if the trains are safe at night? Like, I know its really busy at around 5 when everyone finishes work but how about later than that? When does it get really quiet?

Try catching the train late at night with drunk's. Quite funny watching all the stuff they do. Recommend to all.

(OP is obviously fake)

In case you're not a troll
Trains are fine, more or less all the time.
It is walking through the park to get TO the train that is the part you need to worry about.

Man, you guys are worried about being on the train at 8?
It's around 12:30am when I start to get a little more watchful, and even then I'm not really worried. You're more likely to get attacked just about anywhere else, trains are full of cameras and emergency phones.

That's true.
And just to be safe at night, travel on the carriage that's attached to the guard's compartment. :)

I can't really say too much on this topic as I live on what's probably the safest train line in Sydney but I caught trains home at about 10pm on Wednesday nights for a semester and it was fine. Just stay near the guard's carriage, or if the station's dark where the guard's carriage is (whether it's the origin or destination station), get on a carriage where you see lots of people get on. If there's nobody, get on the carriage that requires the least walking at whichever station is more dangerous. Sit either on the door level seats, or upstairs, but never downstairs. And sit on the aisle seat. All common sense, really.
