There was a proposal a few years back to move Parramatta Station one block
west, and to extend Parramatta Westfield over it - nothing happened though,
would have meant widening the rail reservation between Church and Marsden
Sts (land they did not have) and they would not have been able to do
anything to the old station site anyway (heritage buildings and all that).
