At
a public meeting held 17 June at Thirroul held to discuss the parking problems
caused by last October's train
timetable changes, Heathcote MP Lee Evans said the NSW government was looking at ways to deal
with the "pinch points" caused by the tunnels at Stanwell Park. His
idea is a new Sea Cliff style bridge.
Wollongong
Transport Coalition can remember in 1998 how Action for Transport 2010 promised
faster trains with a new Waterfall Thirroul route with a longer tunnel. Plus
their 2003 options of track straightening near Helensburgh.
With
challenging rail and road problems facing Port Kembla's bid to lift throughput
from 4.35 to 16 million tonnes per year,
it would be much better for the NSW Government to take a close look at
Maldon Dombarton.
Maldon Dombarton would also get coal trains out of Sydney's inner west
and Illawarra lines.
