5138 - ACCESS TO CITY CIRCLE FROM BIRRONG AND YAGOONA

Mihailuk, Tania to the Minister for Transport and Roads

(1) Considering that the stations of Birrong and Yagoona will still remain without direct access to the City Circle via Regents Park after Transport for NSW implements option 2 for stations west of Bankstown in 2024, does the Government intend to improve accessibility to the City Circle for commuters using these stations?

(a) If so, what measures is the Government considering to implement?

 
Answer -

I am advised:

Option 2 will provide a direct link to the city for about 90 per cent of morning peak customers, while minimising impact on the remainder of the network. Community feedback and Opal data confirms this option is the most effective solution.

Birrong and Yagoona customers will still have access to frequent trains, to connect with Metro services at Bankstown, to access both the city and north western Sydney. These customers could also travel to either Lidcombe or Regents Park to access other destinations.
