Region. Land still purchased for NW rail link

NSW Opposition leader, Barry O'Farrell said the NSW Government has continued to buy-up land along the route of the northwest rail corridor despite the project being shelved indefinitely, according to The Sydney Morning Herald which said $141 had been spent million snapping up land for the ghost train corridor. Mt O'Farrell said the disparity between the transport-deprived outer suburbs and the inner west, where a new $5 billion metro currently is being constructed, was incredible.
