Can I use the ticket for going to Redfern from mon-fri, and central on weekend


in other word, can i get off any station between Padstow-Central, such as Beverly Hills, Mascot, Wolli creek????

Probably, since Redfern is before Central.

And I think so, as iirc, those stations are on the shortest path from Padstow to Central.


But why get a MyTrain Monthly? You can't get concessions with those, iirc.

 

[ww0811]

yes, u can, $63.50

You can get off, but you can't get out if there's ticket gates

I don't think you can, I bought a ticket to central from parra and I couldn't use it at strathfield

That's strange. Around 2 weeks ago, I had the same return ticket and it allowed me to get off at strathfield

mytrain or mymulti?

You can on a Weekly, Fortnightly, 28, 90 and 365 day MyTrain tickets, so long as it's on the approved routes list. Information can be found here: http://www.transportnsw.info/resources/documents/TfNSW-ticketing-customer-handbook.pdf


So your scenario should be alright.

Edit: this is for a Break of Journey, i.e. you can get out, then later get back in.

mytrain or mymulti?

It was a mytrain so I think you should be fine

Although please don't kill me if I'm wrong and that was just a one off haha

The difference is that you can't get back into the station using that return ticket. The OP obviously needs to get back in, but since it's a MyTrain Monthly, he will be fine.

You should be fine, I always get a monthly to the City and get off at Redfern, and i've never had any problem

I know a loophole in the system to save several dollars on a weekly if I want one to the city. (also applicable to one-off return tickets)

Mind disclosing to us what is this loophole you have found?

Is this the Pensioner-MyMulti "loophole"?

Nup its legit. It works for everyone (adult/concession). ie. if a transit checked my ticket, I wouldnt get busted.

You'll still get booked and fined if a transit officer catches you. They will ask for your pensioner card and you are screwed.

I think I know what it is now. Think of the shape of city circle and how the trains can come from the Wynyard side after Central or the town hall side of Central.

Close but I can save even more money using an another method to the one you suggested.

 

[anomalousdecay]

Not sure now lol.

Don't quite get how knowing this could save one more money... (sorry for being stupid)-wouldn't your final destination be the same regardless of which train stop you pass through? And when you buy a ticket to 'city', you can get off from any train station within the city circle line, and the ticket will be the same price regardless of which station on the city circle you get off...
