That doesn't mean you cant empathise with their plight.

Well presuming you don't lack empathy .

Oh ok.

Just to ignite the worst state conversation again. Let's build some rail into heavily used choke points for the reason of shuttling the workers into the second airport. St Mary's and Campbeltown, like what the actual gently caress?

The Badgerys rail line will likely be an extension from the current Leppington station. The connection to St Marys I�ve never seen discussed but would likely form part of that Leppington extension and any connection to Campbelltown would likely be via the creation of a new triangle near Glenfield. The actual impacts of train running *should* be minimal for both Campbelltown and St Marys given projects already running for the heavy rail network.

*Edit* The other option is that the triangle doesn�t happen and instead a line is build through Oran Park and Smeaton Grange towards Campbelltown. That would require tunnelling though but creates added benefit by removing some of the load taken by other stations in the area.

This was flagged last year in the Greater Sydney Commission* plan. The idea of a north-south line is sound, and Sydney needs more links on a north-south axis outside of the CBD.

That new metro line though is fibre-to-the-node for public transport. It�s slated to stop at Marsden Park, some 13kms from Richmond where the existing heavy rail terminus and RAAF/horses are.

I wrote a thing about the plan, the parts about anywhere west of Parramatta read like they were written by people who have never been there.

A good read.

Not for the first time, I'm glad to have moved from Western Sydney to Brisbane.

But the tunnelling creates just another example of how little this infrastructure build has been thought through, ~10 years ago 90 % of that area used to be farm land and was turned into housing developments. So instead of having to maybe build track but tunnel under Narellen they now have to pay to tunnel under the developments that were re zoned from farmland. It all costs money and more money due to lack of planning for the future. All of this land was sold off whilst Bagerys Creek was still the planned location for the second airport.

What work is being done to easy congestion on the western line? The same amount of services are running as always not accounting for the population boom in that area, how is adding more passengers onto that line going to help given they have no room for expansion and the the track is super close to capacity?

Editing as I just saw Birstrikes comment: the link from North-South Western Sydney has been needed for many years but as above my issue is that they have sold off so much of the land around and it's been populated for sonlong that any expansion of the rail is now open to NIMBYS and also the cost that goes along with that.

I'm just annoyed at the lack of future planning more than anything.

Technically the West is being decongested by Sydney Metro City and Southwest followed by Sydney Metro West. I understand that the Bankstown line will be Brownfield (removing existing services), but the turn up and go setup with sub-10 minute headway�s will go a long way to reducing congestion.

In terms of future planning, consider this. Most rail projects are planned 10+ years in advance. Smeaton Grange, Oran Park and the other South-West expansions were planned and built with a new rail line in mind; the delay comes mainly from NSW government hard-balling federal for funding based upon the airport. Tunnelling is the �in-thing� for infrastructure just now. It�s front line cost is expensive, but it pays itself back over time in terms of the benefits it provides; especially in the rail space.
