New Train Lines Proposed By Parramatta City Council - Affect on Mount Druitt Commuters!

A lot of transport new rail network ideas come from bureaucrats when it come to  major changes in transport infrastructure.  As it so happens a lot of Councils around Sydney are always planning for progress and improvement to transport and  as  have a major role in the  communities decision process, approving what the community wants and needs are.

Some Councils have transport forums that assist them in deciding how the future goes for that Council boundary or even extending into neighboring Councils and they work with  all transport stake holders to provide the best transport system allowing for costings, for the best interest of the community.

So here is Parramatta City Council who has worked closely with the University of Western Sydney to produce a transport network for trains in the Western Sydney that not only covers this area, leading into the Sydney City area. Although this plan shows a current cost cutting - in  comparison to  what is planned for the future by the new New South Wales Government, there also a great transport from Rouse Hill  to Parramatta (Linking to Epping) and to the Sydney City and also Rouse direct to Sydney City via Parramatta. We will be seeking feedback from  all community members around Western Sydney and within Mount Druitt.

The positive impact this may have to commuters in Mount Druitt is that once these projects have been completed this will  relieve services from the Western Line and allow more services to be introduced along this line. It is not an overnight headache cure - but it  could mean that we are all heading in the right direction for  improved and better train transport.
