News: ‘Dream come true’: Parramatta light rail inches towards completion
Transport Minster David Elliot said 99 per cent of the tracks for the first stage of the $2.4 billion light rail project had been installed, with the final 50-metre segment of the 12-kilometre line to be laid in the coming weeks.
Asked if the Parramatta Light Rail would have the same trams used on the beleaguered inner west line, Mr Elliott said: “We’ll be making sure we don’t have similar problems.”
Stage 1 of the Parramatta Light Rail will connect Westmead to Carlingford via the Parramatta CBD, and is expected to commence passenger services next year.
