Criticism
The Liberal candidate for the Maitland electorate for the State election in March 2007 stated (Maitland Mercury October and again November 2006) that the trains were being delayed to make maximum electoral advantage for the Labor government and its candidate and complained about the limited number of initial services. The Minister of Transport said that the crews need to be trained.
The trains were also criticised in the Maitland Mercury during November 2006 as being difficult to push a wheelchair or a stroller onto the train without a ramp or the assistance of two people due to the height of the floor.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“A tailor can adapt to any medium, be it poetry, be it criticism. As a poet, he can mend, and with the scissors of criticism he can divide.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“...I wasn’t at all prepared for the avalanche of criticism that overwhelmed me. You would have thought I had murdered someone, and perhaps I had, but only to give her successor a chance to live. It was a very sad business indeed to be made to feel that my success depended solely, or at least in large part, on a head of hair.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
