EXCLUSIVE: Documents obtained by Restore Inner West Line from Transport for NSW show the Cumberland Council area is the worst affected by cuts to Sydney Trains services.
Lidcombe, Auburn, Clyde, Granville, Westmead, Merrylands, Guilford, Yennora, Westmead are significantly worse off from the 2017 train timetable – the most stations affected in any council area.
Many stations in Cumberland also suffered from the 2013 timetable cuts removing Inner West Line trains from Berala and Regents Park which forced additional interchanges at Lidcombe and Strathfield.
What has Andrew Constance and Gladys Berejiklian got against Cumberland and the West of Bankstown?
The State Government has already forcefully merged Holroyd with most of Auburn and part of Parramatta Councils, now it has goes even further to “unify” the Cumberland LGA by neglecting public transport at nearly every station in the area.
