Started in 2013 by local residents, the Restore Inner West Line campaign seeks to bring back our train services and support the upgrade not shutdown of train stations west of Bankstown.

The removal of the Inner West Line’s City to Liverpool via Regents Park and City to Bankstown via Regents Park service marks the beginning of the NSW Government’s attempts to remove rail services in South Western Sydney.

We seek to work with community organisations, Councils, State MPs and the NSW Government to improve public transport especially for local residents from west of Bankstown.

The multicultural suburbs of Lidcombe, Berala, Regents Park, Birrong, Yagoona, Sefton, Chester Hill, Leightonfield, Villawood, Carramar, Cabramatta, Warwick Farm and Liverpool are some of the most disadvantaged communities in Sydney which have been neglected by the NSW Government.

In 2020, Transport for NSW acknowledged that restoration of the T2 Inner West Line – City Circle to Liverpool via Regents Park was achievable using currently available Sydney Trains Network infrastructure; the City to Liverpool via Regents Park service was restored as the T3 Liverpool and Inner West Line in 2024. However it remains unknown if such service will be again removed again after 2030.
