Region. Three rail projects 'shovel-ready'

A report commissioned by the Rail Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) said State Government could create almost 25,000 jobs and inject $1.4 billion a year into the economy by building new train lines in northwest and southwest Sydney, and completing the Epping to Parramatta rail link. BTBU Secretary, Nick Lewocki, was reported in The Daily Telegraph, saying the three projects were shovel-ready and only needed the State Government’s go-ahead to become reality.
