Join us for the celebration of 100 years of the Lidcombe to Regents Park to Cabramatta railway and to celebrate the restoration of the Inner West Line (Liverpool via Regents Park). We will have a presentation about local railway history, a celebration of our community effort/wins to date, and speeches from key advocates in the community.
Read our Submission calling for Rail Planning West of Bankstown in support of the full restoration of the Inner West Line (both City to Liverpool via Regents Park and City to Bankstown via Regents Park) – Option 2 and 3.
The Inner West Line (Liverpool via Regents Park route removed in 2013) provides fastest access to City Circle and Inner West without crowded interchanges at Birrong, Lidcombe, Strathfield.
Sydney Metro Southwest downgrades Sydenham to Bankstown and isolates the west of Bankstown forcing commuters from Birrong and Yagoona to interchange to reach the City Circle as the direct service on Inner West Line (Bankstown via Regents Park route) was removed in 2013.
The 2017 timetable change extending the Inner West Line from Homebush (2013 terminus) to Parramatta resulted in the loss of express trains at Lidcombe, Auburn, Granville and hindered the capacity for the reinstatement of the City to Bankstown via Regents Park route.
We are also campaigning for all stations from City to Liverpool via Regents Park to have accessibility upgrades and NightRide bus services. Chester Hill, Villawood, and Carramar needs lifts. Birrong, Yagoona, and Carramar needs NightRide. Liverpool should also have direct trains to Campbelltown.
