Sands - my mates will probably drive in which means i cant meet you at lidcombe but pretty much thats the plan, do what axes said. The main station in the city is CENTRAL. You want to catch a train to OLYMPIC PARK. In order to do this you need to catch a train to LIDCOMBE (which is on the western line, but you shouldnt need to worry about that). Once at LIDCOMBE change trains and go to OLYMPIC PARK. There are 5 platforms at LIDCOMBE, and trains to OLYMPIC PARK on leave from one of these platoforms. It's a bit out of the way in relation to the other four platforms at the station, but just ask a railperson to gie you directions to the "OLYMPIC PARK SPRINT PLATFORM" and i guarantee you'll be fine. Once on the OLYMPIC PARK train, OLYMPIC PARK will be the 1st stop. Any other problems give us a buzz. PM your mobile and I'll do likewise.

So are people catching up for a drink at the Novatel at Homebush before the gig then?

My mate just toild me he went to the Novatel after Bon Jovi ansd that it was only open until 12 midnight. He also said they only serve VB on tap and all the other beers are NSW Tooheys rubbish, so best we find another venue for after the gig. |

I know man, just having a dig. Think we'll be venturing out somewhere else afterwards though. I'm not staying in Burwood on the Saturday night, i'm staying in Ashfield in what is possibly the worst hotel in Australia! Haha rock n roll!! |
