Sydney’s inner west light rail to resume in February | Rabe9
Services on Sydney’s inner west light rail will resume from next February, with the state government expected to use trams from the CBD line to supplement the network until all 12 cracked trams are repaired by October.
Services on the inner west light rail were suspended in late October after cracks were discovered in the Spanish-built trams that run on the network.Louise Kennerley While NSW Transport Minister Rob Stokes first estimated the repairs would take up to 18 months, he confirmed on Thursday that it would take about a year.
“Having inner west trams fixed within a year of this shutdown provides certainty and assurance for the people of the inner west,” Mr Stokes said.“Transport for NSW and its partners will restore services early next year using the CBD and South East trams.”The Morning Edition newsletter is our guide to the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.
