1. It is proposed that four tracks be installed from Chatswood to St
Leonards as part of the Paramatta/Epping/Chatswood line development?

2. What width will the St Leonards platforms be?  There does not
appear to be room for a "North Sydney width" platform (or even a
platform as wide as the current single face St Leonards side
platforms) plus an additional trackbed between the Up Shore and the
very permanent looking concrete curtain wall which has been erected to
the east of the Up Shore track.

3. Will track loops be installed on the Up and Down Shore lines a St
Leonards prior to Paramatta/Epping/Chatswood line development?  If so,
what will be happening re the Pacific Hwy bridge which will require
significant rock excavation next to the abutments to provide trackbed
space?

4. Is the proposed, and controversial, "airights" redevelopment at
Artarmon station also related to some/all of the above?

Cheers,
