On Sunday, August 29, CGEA Transport commenced operation of Hillside Trains. At Hillside Trains, our focus for the future will be on tailoring our service to meet your needs. We're already gearing up to increase frequency and reliability, improve customer comfort, and offer higher levels of personalised service. The Government's passenger charter also shares the same train of thought. They're very clear about protecting the integrity, safety and service level across the entire Hillside Trains network. And I want to assure customers of our commitment to meet and exceed this charter and to deliver a quality service on every level.

The Hillside Trains team looks forward to growing the business and providing an even higher level of service to you, our valued customer. Thank you for travelling with us.
