North West. Potential chaos

The government's decision to build the north-west rail link as a shuttle between Epping and Chatswood, breaking its promise to allow trains to run all the way to the city, will lead to potential chaos for many north shore and Hills district commuters. Rush hour commuters will be forced to wait for at least two crowded trains to go through Chatswood station before being able to continue their journey to the city, under the O'Farrell government's centrepiece $9 billion transport project, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.
