I left the Byron Writer’s Festival at 4.30pm on the Friday and it took 10-15 minutes to get down Bayshore Drive to Ewingsdale Road where traffic sat unmoving heading into Byron.
I don’t remember anywhere in Sydney where it’s taken so long to get a few kilometres.
I’m not sure why more people aren’t excited about the quiet, little train that will go between north Byron and Byron Bay. It appears there have been people door-knocking in the Sunrise area giving out complete misinformation.
I live locally in the Northern Rivers but rarely go to Byron as the traffic congestion and parking are a nightmare.
I’d love to park at North Byron and ride the train into town to enjoy the great music and food. I think people have been misinformed about the impacts and need to get the real information.
