And what about Parramatta for west? Parra is after all the second CBD of
Sydney, and has a very large number of people working either in Parra or
close to it. You would rather create further congestion on services to
Penrith (where they would change to mountains trains?)

There are far more people on the Fairfield line. Some stats I saw showed
that the via Fairfield line carries 12 times more passengers than the via
Villawood line. You could not justify sending them all via Regents Park.

Disagree there.

I would run the Canberra's and ST3/4 direct to Campelltown, would run ST1/2/
to stop at Strathfield, Granville and Campbelltown, and the norths to stop
at Strathfield and Hornsby.
