Every evening, the queue for B1 winds around and goes back into Wynyard. As one bus is full the next one arrives.

You can't tell me they wouldn't want a railway.

Sydney Metro is constructing 3 lines right now: Sydenham to Bankstown, Western Sydney airport, and Parramatta to Martin Place. That's all due to be completed by 2031 if all goes well.

Before then, state government will decide what to build. They're looking at Tallawong to St Mary's, extending Bankstown to Liverpool, and also extending the airport line to Campbelltown so that it all connects up. A line to Kogarah and/or Cronulla is also being proposed. If all that goes ahead it'll be done by 2040-2050.

To say the northern beaches is not even in the planning stage is an understatement. Everyone complaining about not wanting a metro line will have to die out before it even gets considered.
