GOVERNMENT IN DENIAL ABOUT SITUATION Gladys Berejiklian (as Premier and when Transport Minister) and Andrew Constance have both refused invitations to visit stations such as Regents Park and Chester Hill affected by the cuts Patronage figures show a reduction in commuters using trains in the area as services are less frequent, and travel now requires more interchanges. More people are now driving due to poor public transport services. Berala to Carramar on the Bankstown Line has missed out on the “extra” Bankstown trains supposedly included in the 2013 Timetable. The Sydney Trains map released on 20 October 2013 showed the Inner West Line terminating at Homebush, but subsequent editions do not include this marking due to the government’s attempts to cover-up the train cuts because of community backlash against the changes. 2 April 28, 2017 www.restoreinnerwestline.org.au CASE STUDY: SEFTON TO HOMEBUSH Previous Timetable Current Timetable Sefton 7:48am Sefton 7:53am Birrong (Interchange) 8:05am Regents Park 7.52am Regents Park 8:09am Berala 7:54am Berala 9:12am Lidcombe 7:59am Lidcombe (Interchange) 8:20am Flemington 8:02am Flemington - Homebush 8:04am Homebush - Strathfield (Interchange) 8:43am Homebush 8:45am Total Journey Time 16 Mins Total Journey Time 52 Mins Interchanges 0 Interchanges 3 A 16 Minute direct journey with 1 train is now a 52 Minute indirect journey with 4 trains and 3 interchanges! Many students studying at Homebush Boys High School are affected by the 2013 Timetable Changes. FROM THE COMMUNITY High School Teacher: We’ve had to change our bell times in the afternoon as many of our students take the train Liberal Party supporter: This should not be a political issue rather it is a community need Local Resident: The State Government responds to my letters expressing concerns over the 3 extra interchanges needed by saying that to get to these destinations I need to interchange Local Resident: I come from Sri Lanka where the government discriminates against certain areas with the deliberate non-provision of essential services for opponents of the government and people of different ethnic caste backgrounds. It is not right for the NSW Liberal Government to treat West & South West Sydney like this because it is home to a large multicultural and ethic population as well as being Labor safe seats. Parent: My child travels to Homebush Boys High School from Berala, it used to be a direct journey, now he must change at Lidcombe and Strathfield Pensioner: I have written multiple letters to the State Liberal government raising concerns about the timetable changes/lack of trains & multiple interchanges but the (now former) Transport Minister (Gladys Berejiklian) has not replied to any of them School Prefects: Our morning Solomon Islands fundraiser has been cancelled because students can’t arrive with enough time to participate before classes start in the morning due to the timetable changes Students: I feel unsafe having to interchange at Birrong, before I had a direct train from Regents Park to Chester Hill which was also quicker University Student: To get to Australian Catholic University, Strathfield in the morning by 7am by public transport, I know must wake up at 5am (NB: Berala to Strathfield is 4 stations away) Worker: I used to catch the train from Birrong to Macquarie Uni for work which took 45 minutes now it takes 1½ hours as I must change at Lidcombe and wait for infrequent trains on the Bankstown Line Worker: It’s miserable, I live in Sefton and I used to be able to get to work near Central in an hour, but now it takes 2 hours as I’ve got to wait a lot longer for trains 3 April 28, 2017 www.restoreinnerwestline.org.au ACTION NEEDED! On behalf of the commuters and residents in the Auburn, Bankstown and Fairfield electorates, Restore Inner West Line asks for the following: 1. The pre-October 2013 Inner West Line train service restored: City to Liverpool via Regents Park 2. Train service frequency increased for Bankstown Line stations not receiving Sydney Metro 3. A review of the Sydney Trains timetable drafting and community consultation process 4. The Premier and Transport Minister to visit Regents Park and Chester Hill via rail SUPPORTERS OF RESTORE INNER WEST LINE Auburn MP Luke Foley (2015 election commitment) Retired Auburn MP Barbara Perry Bankstown MP Tania Mihailuk (2015 parliamentary motion) Fairfield MP Guy Zangari (2015 parliamentary speech) Newtown MP Jenny Leong (2015 parliamentary speech) Auburn City Council (2013 council motion) Strathfield Council (2014 council motion) SYDNEY METRO – SYDENHAM TO BANKSTOWN Construction of the Sydney Metro (Sydenham to Bankstown) will remove all direct city train services for commuters at 9 stations on the northern branch (to Lidcombe) and western branch (to Liverpool) of the Bankstown Line. Berala, Regents Park, Birrong, Yagoona, Sefton, Chester Hill, Leightonfield, Villawood, Carramar will be even worse off once the Bankstown Line is closed for Metro construction. Commuters at these stations must interchange at Birrong, Lidcombe, Cabramatta or Bankstown to travel to the City/Inner West. Transport for NSW has indicated plans to cut the Bankstown Line further at Cabramatta once the Metro opens. Currently the Bankstown Line operates all stations to Liverpool. Restoring the Inner West Line (City to Liverpool via Regents Park) would allow for a direct train to the City and Inner West for Berala – Carramar commuters. WESTCONNEX

    Transport in the Cumberland Community Research Report June 2020 Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 Report prepared by the Social Research and Planning Team, Community and Place, Cumberland City Council 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY Cumberland City Council acknowledges the Darug Nation and People as the traditional custodians of the land on which the Cumberland Local Government Area is situated and pays respect to Aboriginal Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. Cumberland City Council also acknowledges other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living and working in the Cumberland Local Government Area. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS Cumberland City Council would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who participated in this research. This report would not have been possible without your time and willingness to share your stories and experiences. Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents findings from research into key transport and mobility challenges for the Cumberland community. This research was conducted between August 2019 and April 2020 and is grounded in empirical data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Transport for NSW, amongst other sources, and extensive community engagement. Quality transport options are fundamental to accessing many essential services, education, employment and social and recreational activities. Although three train lines run through the Cumberland LGA, in addition to the T80 high frequency bus route, many Cumberland residents still have difficulties getting around. Major barriers raised by the community relate to reliability, frequency and coverage of services.

  • Birrong, Potts Hill & Regents Park
    The suburbs of BIRRONG, POTTS HILL & REGENTS PARK 2143 Birrong, Potts Hill and Regents Park yesterday…. One of the first settlers of Birrong was Joseph Hyde Potts who was granted land in the area in 1835. Following soon after the adoption of the name 'Birrong' in 1927, the railway was built, stimulating much residential development. Often subject to flooding, drainage works were undertaken during the Great Depression (1929-1934). Joseph Hyde Potts, an accountant in the Bank of New South Wales, received a grant of 1,100 acres (4 km2) in 1833. Two reservoirs were built on the higher ground of the estate between 1888 and 1923 as part of the Sydney water supply system. Regents Park was originally part of a land grant to Joseph Hyde Potts and the first subdivision was made in 1880. When the school opened in 1899 it was known as Potts Hill School, but became Sefton Park School in 1907 when this area became known as Sefton Park. In 1929 it was changed to Regent Park School. The railway station opened in 1914 as Regents Park but the site was changed in 1924 when the line connected Lidcombe to Bankstown. It's all in a name....... Birrong is an Indigenous Australian word Birrong meaning 'star'. Regents Park was taken from the famous park in central London. Potts Hill was named after Joseph Hyde Potts, an early land owner. Birrong Girls High School 1920 Birrong, Potts Hill and Regents Park today…. All three suburbs are established residential communities that share the postcode 2143. Major features of the area include Potts Hill Reservoirs, Birrong Swim Centre, Maluga Passive Park, Jim Ring Reserve and a number of schools.
