NSW Norwest Metro Extension

With Badgerys Creek now officially official, I wonder what the power that be are considering for the NW Metro extension.

I reckon it will very much play out be down to St Marys via Schofields as I think Marsden Park won't have as much an impact given that the metro already will link up at Bella Vista for transporting commuters.

Also, Schofields has the WSU campus there, which will mean the metro can potentially link up a future education hub, an existing one at Macquarie, and numerous employment hubs; the airport, Bella Vista, Macquarie, North Sydney, and the CBD. All in all, WSU seem very well placed to benefit greatly from this with the positioning of their existing campuses.

Hopefully we start to see some traction around this in a decade or so?

What does everyone else think?

Now, the proposed M12 around the airport is another thread topic altogether; why only two lanes each way? It's gonna clog up on day 1 for sure.

 

They will announce an extention of M12 in the next budget. Gota leave something for next year...

 

Metro - 2027-2030 timeframe for an opening ( at the earliest ). Lot's still to happen, although significant geo survey / study work has been undertaken I believe.

Would this be a railway line down the centre of a motorway like they have in Perth?
