Region. Planning on tunnel for Western Express

A new 5-kilometre priority tunnel, known as the City Relief Line, is proposed to be constructed from Eveleigh to Wynyard, separating western services from inner city trains, as part of the Western Express service from Penrith and Richmond to the Sydney CBD. Funds have been allocated from the 2010-11 Budget for Transport NSW to commence the planning process and assess the design and alignment options. This project is in the early design and planning phase.
