Overcrowding Trains Admitted By NSW Government - NEW Services Missing Mount Druitt - Channel 9

Well it is good for the NSW Government to realize we are reaching in over capacity of over crowding trains, especially in peak hours.
This i has been reported to be in  many posts over the years, including overcrowding on train stations and vestibule areas,

So, is the NSW Government wanting to increase rail services but only from City to  Parramatta and miss the west and south west? That is what it sounds like. We applaud increase in rail services but we need  public transport funds to be spent in the right direction. 

Attending a  Blacktown City Council  Public Transport Forum number 41, I have year after year explaining that if money was spent to duplicate rail lines from St Marys to Emu Plains, there is that provision of allowing more trains and carriages to enter and  leave the NSW Sydney Trains network system. But we seem to want to clog up the rail network  first, before we think of the bigger picture.

So to announce further public transport train services is good, but to announce further public trains services but not to expand rail lines and not to duplicate lines is ridiculous. Especially, when this serves aas a more important role in  providing more efficient and reliable trains services.

The Channel news video reports on the struggle commuters face  currently on overcrowding but doesn't  touch on the necessity of   expanding current lines as previously discussed.
