Re: [NSW] Hurstville to Strathfield

["Chris Downs" <cvdowns@ozemail.com.au>]

Kingsgrove and Campsie interchanges are the only proposed stops that I'm
aware of.  I don't think there are other major passenger generators on that
route that warrant the cost of an underground station.

Once the Parramatta - Chatswood line is opened in 2006 there should be extra
capacity Strathfield - Parramatta.  I assume a fast Hurstville -
Strathfield - Parramatta service is on the agenda, plus quicker connections
to points north and west.
