This development is for a proposed 556 units. On the assumption that there are two adults in each unit, that means over 1,000 more people waiting at Westmead station for the already crowded trains.
When travelling along the Western line towards Penrith, I have seen many enormous unit developments. How are all these people going to get to work? How am I going to get a seat on the train when all these additional people are fighting for a seat?
Sydney does not have the infrastructure and particularly the trains to cope with this additional influx of people to our railway stations. The trains stopping at Westmead do not have the capacity for another 1,000 people.
