Western Sydney Commuters Will Get 250 More Trains Services With New Time Tables

Whilst the news is good that  there will be 250 more trains services out on the T1 Western Line and this will ease overcrowding on trains, I can see a few issues arising from this, as follows:

1. More pressure on Sydney Trains employees handling these services
2. More chaos will affect all of Sydney if one trains services is delayed or stopped
3. The duplication of the rail tracks between St Marys and Emu Plains has not been put into plan, which will clog up services on the greater west of the line as trains may queue up
4. That some services may have to change at Parramatta to get to the East, that will delay getting into the city and disrupts commuters comfort

I'm just wondering if all these have been thought out properly. It is great to come as a NSW Premier and NSW Transport Minister and made these announcements but really has there been a  rushed decision without thought. Don't get me wrong, I have been advocating for the duplication of rail lines between St Marys and Penrith since 2010 and in the NSW Long Term Transport  Masterplan 2030 .

The former deceased Member of Penrith, Ron Mulock was a lone State Member Advocate that shared the same views on this issue, when I was lucky one time to have a great discussion on it. Maybe it will not fall on deaf ears this time.
