Analysis of the Iemma Government's figures by the Liberal/Nationals shows PM peak weekly targets were only met on five out of 52 weeks in 2005/06 for the entire network – just three out of 52 weeks for the Sydney suburban network only.

"Morris Iemma and John Watkins have fiddled the figures and they still can't get the trains to run on time," Mr Debnam said.

"Despite axing 270 services, slowing trains down to turn of the century speeds and moving the goalposts to make on-time running look better, they've still failed," he said.

"All commuters expect is a safe, comfortable and reliable service and they aren't getting this from Morris Iemma and John Watkins.

"Commuters are understandably frustrated by having their family time taken away from them by Morris Iemma's late and overcrowded trains.

"Morris Iemma and Labor have spent 12 years presiding over the rundown the train system in NSW, which has seen commuters turn their backs on public transport further clogging our already congested roads.

“Nothing runs to schedule under the Iemma Labor Government.
• OSCAR Outer Suburban Carriages initially promised for delivery in 2005 now won’t be fully in service until 2007;
• Air-conditioned carriages initially promised for delivery by 2010, now won’t be fully in service until 2012;
• North West Rail Link still 11 years away from opening and running 7 years late;
• The Rail Clearways project initially promised to cost $1.018 billion, will now cost $1.5 billion.

“The Iemma Labor Government should stop wasting taxpayers' money on blatantly political advertising and simply deliver commuters better train services and higher standards," Mr Debnam said.
