On the 29 October 2012 the NSW Government released the Second
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS2) for the North West Rail Link (NWRL)
How it will affect local residents:
* Passengers travelling on the Northern Line from Beecroft and Cheltenham, who currently enjoy a direct run into the city on one train, will be forced to change at Epping for a single deck train. At Chatswood, they will then need to change again back to a double deck train to get to the CBD.
* That means having to get three trains into the city increasing travel time by 15 minutes rather than the one seamless system they enjoy now.
* The introduction of this incompatible component is unacceptable.
Minister Berejiklian has stated that this will create great disruption for commuters on the Northern Line.
The NWRL is a much needed project for Western Sydney but it should not be a metro line. The distance is far too long for metro style transport. The tunnels should be built large enough for current double deck trains to allow its integration into the current rail system.
