Very detailed planning document - after the decisions to build and what
routes to follow.

I have 2 questions.
1. How is (was) the route already serviced by public transport and what
were its shortcomings?
2. Was the route designed by 20 and 30 year olds? The distance beween
Parramatta Station and Macquarie St is considerable for those not young and
healthy. It amazes me (aged 77) about how much effort is expended in making
public transport ENTRANCE and EGRESS. wheelchair and pram friendly
(different story for actual travel on buses), yet a walk of half a km is
considered fit for purpose, or it is assumed that no one will wish to
transfer from PS to MS except fit and able students.

Thankfully the same service provider is involved, otherwise we might have
had incompatible Westmead and Carlingford routes which seems to be normal
for TfNSW (I worry about the "f") for its other light rails and metros.
