History

Rydalmere wharf was opened in December 1993, when ferry services resumed operating between Meadowbank and Parramatta after an 85-year break.[1][2][3]

Today, Rydalmere wharf is served by Sydney Ferries Parramatta River services operating between Circular Quay and Parramatta.[4] The single wharf is served by RiverCat class ferries. During periods of low tide, services terminate at Rydalmere with passengers completing the final part of the journey by State Transit bus.[5]

In October 2018, the wharf was temporarily closed to facilitate an upgrade to services. The upgrades will improve the safety and accessibility of the wharf and make it quicker and more efficient to board and disembark ferries. The upgrade will also improve weather protection, seating and waiting areas, lighting and signage. [6][7] The wharf reopened on 20 March 2019.[8]

gollark: Wow, that's somehow half the speed of my home connection run over some ancient phone line.
gollark: This is mostly two-way, i.e. two threads per core, however some enterprisey ones go to 4 or 8; this has diminishing returns because more and more of the execution resources are already used.
gollark: So when the core is waiting on memory access required for one thread, say, it can run the other one in the meantime.
gollark: Most modern CPUs support "simultaneous multithreading", where one core can run multiple threads by switching between them *very* fast (without OS intervention/context switches, I think). You might expect this to make them slower, and sometimes it does, but each core has a bunch of resources which just one running thread may underutilize.
gollark: Basically, "cores" is the number of physical... concurrent... processing... things on the CPU, and "threads" is how many tasks they can run "at once".
