The Government's plans will cause chaos with Lite Rail partially on corridor, leaving the corridor at Union Street and then running as a tram sharing roads with traffic on Hunter and Scott Streets after Union St, and terminating one block past the Newcastle Station at the Joy Cummings Centre.
Most people I talk to don't understand the govt plans but many do see how hopeless it is as public transport replacement for our excellent direct service to Hunter Central coast and beyond.
The Herald article shows that the business case is flawed, as is our one-off chance to fund Better Public Transport for Newcastle, from the sale of the Port of Newcastle.
