Welcome

The Restore Inner West Line campaign was started (by Roydon Ng) in October 2013 as a response to the NSW State Government's timetable changes for Sydney Trains implemented on 20 October 2013. The timetable changes terminated the Inner West Line at Homebush thus removing regular Liverpool & Bankstown to City via Regents Park services.

Building on this is a Community Action Group started in December 2013, comprising of local residents, community representatives and supported by Barbara Perry (ex-MP for Auburn), Tania Mihailuk (Bankstown MP) and Luke Foley (Opposition Leader/Auburn MP), the community action group seeks to lobby the State Government for the restoration of the Inner West Line on the Sydney Trains network.

Terminating the Inner West Line at Homebush station and the introduction of the new train timetable on October 20, 2013 has resulted in: 
  • Over 80% of Train Services Cut between Lidcombe and Liverpool via Regents Park 
  • 2 Additional Interchanges (at Birrong and Lidcombe)
  • Increased Travel Times
  • Increased Overcrowding (for Western/South line services and at Lidcombe station)
  • Lack of Access to the Inner West (disconnection between Lidcombe and Homebush)
  • Lack of Frequent Train Services (trains every 30 minutes for most of the day)
  • No direct Liverpool to City via Regents Park
  • No direct Bankstown to City via Regents Park
  • Increased traffic congestion especially at Arthur St and Centenary Drive intersection (Flemington)
Our petition to Andrew Constance (Transport Minister) and Mike Baird (NSW Premier) can be found at: https://www.change.org/p/restore-inner-west-line-reinstate-liverpool-bankstown-via-regents-park-train-services



The commuters of the the Inner West, West and South Western Sydney suburbs request the restoration of the Inner West Line for all stations between Homebush and Liverpool. The restoration of the Inner West Line with services to pre-October 20, 2013 levels such as a direct train from Liverpool (and Bankstown) via Regents Park/Lidcombe to the City Circle.
