Well it appears many of us may well be eating the cynical words of our past with Barry sticking to his promise to build the NW Rail link
Bring it on Barry!!
Press release Sep 7 2011:
"The North West Rail Link today passed a major milestone with the start of geotechnical drilling work on the NSW Government's priority rail infrastructure project.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell, Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian and Treasurer Mike Baird today inspected drilling work at Old Northern Rd in Castle Hill, above what will be the new Castle Hill station.
The work will help engineers determine the exact underground conditions for the construction of Australia's longest rail tunnels.
The 2011-12 Budget, announced yesterday, allocated $314 million to the North West Rail Link project this year, with a provisional allocation of $2.5 billion over four years.
"The Budget delivers on our commitment to the people of the North West, and greater Sydney, to build this long-overdue rail link," Mr O'Farrell said"
