Was reading in the local press that the freight terminal is to go
ahead. I'd say that would rule out re-opening the old line. Perhaps
not the most attractive thing to put smack in the middle of a housing
estate anyway.

Buses to St Marys or Mt Druitt seem most likely to me, if the estate
eventually gets built. There's a lot of opposition to it. Where else
in the Sydney area will you find wild kangaroos.
