Herald 14.08.2016) Heavy rail & light rail can complement each other by providing expanded transport options to the some of the fastest growing retail commercial & residential areas in Sydney. The light rail network could link to the heavy rail network and both networks could complement each other in increasing passenger movements, plus also allowing light rail to branch out to areas the current heavy rail network does not reach. The issue of overcrowding on rail transport needs to be addressed, as people living in inner city regions have issues with the city rail network with trains often congested by the time that they reach Parramatta. People living further east of Parramatta often have trouble finding seats during the morning & afternoon peak periods. One solution to this is either increasing the amount of cars on Interurban trains with limited stops at major stations for example Strathfield, Parramatta, Blacktown & Penrith. This would allow for commuters to have a faster journey, commuters could then connect to a service on a branch line for example the Richmond line.
