	Epping to Chatswood railway line, Sydney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Epping to Chatswood line (originally to be the Parramatta Rail Link) is a railway line under construction in the Northern suburbs of Sydney, Australia.
		This required the elimination of the planned station at the University of Technology, Sydney, Kuring-gai Campus; the required increased depth of the tunnel to go under the river made a station at that point impractical, due to the required depth of the escalator shafts.
		The railway line was originally intended to continue from Epping to Parramatta, partially travelling along the existing Carlingford railway line, Sydney surface line which would be widened from single-track to dual-track.

		A new rail link between the northern suburbs of Parramatta and Chatswood will fill in the final missing link to establishing a circular heavy rail line linking the centre of Sydney with its major suburbs.
		Parramatta and Epping stations need upgrading for their expanded role, involving construction of additional underground platforms, and new links to the existing station facilities.

		Parramatta station will house an interchange large enough to cater for 90-110 bus movements each way per hour, to be built under the existing rail line but above the proposed new line.
		If use of the line as a link to the airport has been disappointing, this can be attributed to the opening of the eastern distributor around the same time as the railway.
		The rail link was found to be the most economically beneficial.

		Billed as the biggest addition to the rail network since the 1920s, and with work on the first half already under way, the line was to be finished by 2010 to shift thousands of western Sydney commuters from their cars and relieve the over-stressed CityRail network.
		The Lord Mayor of Parramatta, Paul Garrard, said recent official briefings he had received had not indicated the project was to be shelved.

		The North West Rail Link is a major public transport initiative by the NSW Government and will service one of the fastest growing regions in metropolitan Sydney.
		Light rail and rapid bus transitways were considered as alternatives to the heavy rail link, however, preliminary investigations indicate that the heavy rail line will better service the transport needs of the area.
		The preferred alignment for the Link is being proposed on the basis that it will minimise any potential adverse impacts on the local community and environment while enhancing the access for potential patrons.

		According to the recently released Parramatta rail link environmental impact statement, the proposed new Chatswood-Parramatta line is to be extended to Westmead.
