Hey guys,anyone have any idea how to go to acer arena from bankstown via public transport??
Anyone live in bankstown??

anniea89 · 23-11-2008, 03:14 AM

Try looking on the bus website.

Benjamin · 23-11-2008, 03:56 AM

Take a train from Bankstown Station to Olympic Park Station - exactly what I did when I went to the ARIA Awards this year, which was also at Acer Arena (except I came from Bondi Junction Station).

Acer Arena is a 3-minute walk from the Olympic Park Station.

blackdollie · 23-11-2008, 04:09 AM

which bus website?where do you live?

what's the name of Olympic Park station?
between,the train 24 hours in service?

Benjamin · 23-11-2008, 04:36 AM

It's just called 'Olympic Park Station'.

Check cityrail.com.au.

To get from Bankstown Station to Olympic Park Station:

- take a train from Bankstown Station to Lidcombe Station
- take a train from Lidcombe Station to Olympic Park Station

It'll take 40 minutes at maximum.

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

i'm so excited they finally announced!!!

smileys just can't express how happy i am!

blackdollie · 23-11-2008, 07:42 AM

how to buy the ticket?

Benjamin · 23-11-2008, 11:28 AM

When you get to Bankstown Station buy a return ticket to Olympic Park Station.

Then ask for one of the staff to direct you to the line to goes to Lidcombe if you're having trouble finding it.

Once you're on the train be aware when you arrive at Lidcombe Station. It should take about 20 minutes. When you do, be sure to get off.

At Lidcombe Station find the sign that says Olympic Park Station and catch that train and you'll arrive there in about 6 minutes.

Oh, by the way, you can't pre-book train tickets.

The Escapist · 23-11-2008, 06:32 PM

Where are colbalt and Jizo? Shouldn't they be posting their excitment here.
