Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[the phantom menace]

compare it with the L1 line when it first opened and went Central to Pyrmont
Was a glorified casino shuttle service.
Now that Pyrmont has been built up and the line extended to Dulwich Hill it has a lot more use

The current Parra LR is just mainly a shuttle for people on the old Carlingford line to Parramatta - let's see what happens after the next extension and a bit of development

True.

Is it getting much use on match days? I image if you are getting the train from the west it would be an easy trip to the stadium with a change at Westmead

You can just walk through Parra Park from Westmead railway station (and just as quick imo, without bothering with any light rail) or Parra station if you're coming from further west.

For those who've been following the pearl clutching - a positive and expected result via the courts.
