Talk:Sydney Ferries

message: It has been quite a while since the contract with Fantasea Cruises ended. Sydney ferries services are now supplemented by 2 or 3 vessels from Captain Cook Cruises.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.233.124.118 (talk) 02:05, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

message: This article needs a complete rewrite indicating that Sydney Ferries no longer exists as all ferry services were contracted to Harbour City Ferries (which needs its own Page created too) in Aug 2012 (I think).   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.165.122 (talk) 22:18, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Sydney Ferries 'privatised' 

message: I've just re-written some of the details of the current corporate structure of Sydney Ferries. The old version named the specific ministers who are shareholders and was already out-of-date. I've changed it to name the positions instead - i.e. "The two shareholders are the NSW treasurer and finance minister." This way the page will stay valid when the office-holders change.
I also deleted the naming of Geoffrey Smith as CEO as he has been dismissed from the role recently.

message: The accident pages should be merged in here. They should be discussed in view of the recent accident history of Sydney Ferries, not on their own separate pages that will never be expanded. JRG 23:53, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not a supposed future event. It's already devastated the Australian figure skating community. This could possibly be as bad as the Sabena crash. This is big for figure skating. Keep it as a seperate article. Awartha 05:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So rename the article. That's not a reason to move it. Awartha 05:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

text: You are proclaiming that the death of three people involved in figure skating in Australia  "could have massive repercussions for Austrlian figure skating"; if Australia fails to enter a figure skating team at the next world champs. because of this accident, you may have a case for writing the article in the future. As is, it's a minor accident of little interest beyond the news. Look at the Burnley tunnel article, it makes excellent use of recent news information without spinning it off into a pointless article. --Peta 05:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Alright, I'm merging it. JRG 10:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge Accident Pages

message: The introduction says that Sydney Ferries is used "primarily" by tourists but then later gives statistics that show more commuter travel than tourists.  Which is correct?  Is this somehow a bone of contention?  Jpp42 10:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This article really needs a route map, at least for the benefit of those who are not intimately familiar with the Sydney area. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 16:03, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Route map? 

message: There are two Sydney Ferries in existence currently (January 2018). One is the Sydney Ferries branding, which has the green Hop logo and green font. The other is a government agency, as stated in the current Transport Administration Act 1988 and Transport for NSW annual reports (like the  2016-17 one). The agency is the owner of the ferry fleet and is a controlled entity of Transport for NSW.
Question is, should these two "Sydney Ferries" be split into two separate wiki articles (i.e. the agency one has the name like Sydney Ferries (agency)), or leave both of them in this article? Marcnut1996 (talk) 05:37, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
