State MP calls for better trains

On 23 May 2018, the NSW State member for Wollongong Paul Scully spoke in Parliament on the need for a better train service, and the need to complete the Maldon Dombarton link.

The speech notes that it is 30 years since the then Greiner government stopped work on the  Maldon Dombarton link.

This was when the contract to build the 4 km Avon tunnel was cancelled. The contract price was just over $20 million, and some $10 million was paid for preliminary work and compensation for not finishing the job.

 A very expensive mistake, as it will now cost over $100 million to build this tunnel.
