Free Travel Entitlement
The State Government announced a Free Travel Entitlement in recognition of the inconvenience caused by the Armadale/Thornlie Line Shutdown. As a result, six months of free travel will be provided for eligible Ursula Frayne Catholic College students.
To be eligible you will need to be:
• A current SmartRider user;
• Have used a train service from an Armadale/Thornlie Line station between Carlisle and Armadale at least once a week for 13 weeks (does not have to be consecutive) in the six months prior to 17 September 2023.
Those eligible will automatically have a free travel token applied to their SmartRider for free travel between 20 November 2023 to 31 May 2024 so there is no need to apply or register for the entitlement.
