Parramatta. Lobbying for rail line conversion

Parramatta City Council has welcomed the preferred route and stations for the proposed 24-kilometre West Metro underground rail link between Westmead and the Sydney CBD, although State Government funding has not been allocated for construction. “Council supports the West Metro and is lobbying State Government to investigate converting the Carlingford Line to Metro to deliver the scrapped Parramatta to Epping Rail Link,” said David Gray, council’s senior project officer, transport planning.
