I hope you are having a lovely start to 2026.

The Parramatta Light Rail is once again in the news for low ridership. You may read the article at Paramatta Light Rail usage tipped to double next year despite numbers falling short in its first year - ABC News

I have reached out to the following to seek their support in extending the Parramatta Light Rail by 4 kms to Epping Metro Station - 

• NSW Treasury (State Budget & Funding body)
• Transport for NSW (TfNSW)
• Infrastructure NSW
• Greater Cities Commission (Strategic planning for Sydney region)
• Federal Member for Bennelong – Jerome Laxale MP (Epping/Carlingford falls in Bennelong)
• Federal Member for Parramatta – Dr Andrew Charlton MP (Parramatta CBD/Westmead)
• Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport & Regional Dev. – Hon. Catherine King MP
• Infrastructure Australia (federal advisory body)

I shall keep you posted on the replies I receive.

Till then, speak to your local representatives and seek their support for the Light Rail extension. Let us get this train moving!
