The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[herbert henry1908]

The Western Metro is still a long long way off

Light rail extension of Light Rail to Strathfield is medium term

So using the current rail line better eg Olympic timetable is the best short term answer

Sure, it’d be good if they could integrate that section into the line.

Transport links to the ground will improve dramatically in the next decade.

Not western regional, they stop at parramatta.

Also northern regional could easily add a stop at North Strathfield.

For western regional it would be easy to add a stop at Lidcombe today. With the link to Bankstown and Olympic Park. But they haven't

This is what I expect will be the same outcome at Nth Strathfield

Yeah but there’s a difference now, the new metro will get people straight into the north of the CBD. That’s much more important than easy access to Olympic Park.

If they can go straight to the north of fhe CBD from north Strathfield, that relieves pressure on interchanges at central.

 

[Suitman]

Yep useless for regional commuters who catch express trains

What, changing at Parra?
What do you want? Direct trains from Newcastle or Lithgow to Olymic Park? FMD!!

 

[Coparugby]

Whoever is elected has essentially four options:

1 - Leave a derelict SFS on the edge of the city in an entertainment precinct unused.
2 - Go through with the full whizz-bang rebuild.
3 - Build a more austere club-focused stadium.
4 - Renovate the SFS at a cost somewhere nearing option 2 for the worst result.

I think if the coalition is returned we'll end up with option 3 but I think the ALP would be stupid enough for option 4 and spin it as being the previous governments fault.

I think we’ll end up with 3. A well built 25k stadium with adequate rain protection would be ideal.

As long as they rebuild ANZ a promised.

Yes they were great during the Olympics and the Easter Show

Been done before it was great !

No all I want
- Western Express trains to stop at Lidcombe
- Central / Redfern / Strathfield / Olympic park service return

Metro and Light Rail wont be ready for 2019 season

Well, how about you wait, and understand that the infrastructure is being built and will arrive in good time?
And, as for 2019, you put up with the status quo? Like we all have to.

Alan Jones comparing sfs to Hillsborough tonight..

Um that was caused by a crowd crush..

Last place that will happen is sfs Alan

Why ?

All we have to do is make requests to CityRail directly

Not to mention the business and residents who now use the area moee than us sporting folk

Anyway what year will the Light Rail and Metro be built ?

The lidcombe stop doesn’t make a heap of sense, there’d be hardly anyone that wants to get out there on a non event day.

Central to Olympic Park service May have more chance of returning once the T3 Bankstown line is converted, that’s going to free up some track space for the heavy rail.

When you design a whole train network you need to look at usage patterns. Very few people would catch the train from the blue mountains to Olympic Park, by stopping there you add extra time to the journey & that adds flow on time to all other journeys behind it.

It’s better for the network that those few people that need it instead interchange.

Now one area it would be good is if they could look at stopping there for big events, but it’s nit going to get a regular stop.

Remember when the Olympics were on they could redesign the whole timetable, so many people took time off work.

There is a huge business precident that has moved into Homebush and growing.

And now we have a large resdient redevelopment plan in progress in multiple locations.

Its no longer a sport event site. You have concerts, exhibitions as well as the sports events.

You a large number of people using the car due to the poor public transport service

Train network was designed to minimise the number of train track changes.

Yes but that was when the population was small, and now it’s growing significantly the network being tangled up like that causes problems.

For instance you can get an issue on the one side of the city and it can reverberate around the network. Independent lines contain those problems.

If you look at other cities, most have independent lines & rely heavily on interchanging.

Well as I say, there may be room to improve the service when the T3 is converted to metro.

But I still think the amount of trips from the mountains to Olympic Park would be pretty small. Ideally a loop between Olympic Park & Strathfield would suit most people.

This is already perfectly possible but except for special events like the Grand Final they don't use it.

 

[TheFrog]

It's the dead centre of town too.

People weren't buried there, funeral trains used to go to Rookwood. In later years the Parcel Vans ran out of this siding.

 

[herbert henry1908]

It’s possible, but it’s a line capacity issues. If you add trains between Olympic Park & Strathfield, that allows for less trains behind it. So you need to weigh the benefits.

But with the T3 line being converted to metro (if labor don’t scrap it) that will allow for more services on T2 line, as the T3 line will no longer be on the city circle. So with more line capacity they may be able to introduce those services.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Labor gonna sack the SCG Trust.

Im back on board. That lot can f*ck right off

Sack the trust and replace them with whoever... the fact the new Trust is still going to responsible for an unsafe stadium. . Hillsborough enquiry found the following.
"
The inquest jury delivers its verdict. Among the 14 questions it is asked to decide upon, it concludes that the 96 people who died in the disaster were unlawfully killed, overturning the verdict of accidental death at the original inquest.

It adds that no behaviour on the part of Liverpool fans contributed to the dangerous situation at the Leppings Lane turnstiles. This, at last, comprehensively exonerates the supporters who were blamed for causing the disaster in its immediate aftermath.

Defects in the construction and layout of the stadium contributed to the disaster, the inquest finds, adding that “errors and omissions” by the entire police operation on the day contributed to the causes of the disaster. It adds that errors and omissions in the stadium’s layout and design, and its lack of a valid safety certificate also contributed to the tragedy, as did Sheffield Wednesday FC’s preparation for the match.
