Rail Freight Corridor and the BCCT AGM

At the BCCT AGM, Scott Lyall of Transport for NSW gave an excellent presentation on the current state of planning for the third rail coming through Cheltenham and Beecroft. The rail is needed to allow north-bound passenger trains to pass slow moving freight trains struggling up the steep track there. The new rail will cut into existing railway land west of the present rail, including the children's play park by the bus stops, and the commuter car park. The car park will be relocated north of Chapman Avenue, maintaining the same number of car park spaces.
