which the deposed NSW Premier Nathan Rees was to release in December 2009. The proposal was to include: the West Metro from Westmead to the city a metro to the south-eastern suburbs of Randwick, Kensington, the UNSW, Kingsford and Maroubra. a heavy rail link to the Hills District in the north-west. completing the missing rail link between Parramatta and Epping. a metro from Olympic Park to Hurstville. a CityRail CBD relief line under the city. Radial transport links into Parramatta. The proposals were to cost $180 billion over 25 years. In late 2009, Nathan Rees was deposed by Kristina Keneally casting doubt upon the blueprint. Metropolitan Transport Plan: Connecting the City of Cities, 2010 In February 2010, the NSW premier Kristina Keneally announced the Metropolitan Transport Plan: Connecting the City of Cities. Plans for metro lines were cancelled, with the focus altered to expansion of the present heavy rail system. The rail-related portions consisted of: a Western Express CityRail Service consisting of a new CBD Relief tunnel between Redfern and Wynyard with new platforms at Redfern, Central, Town hall and Wynyard, the North West rail link from Epping to Rouse Hill with six stations at Franklin Road, Castle Hill, Hills Centre, Norwest, Burns Road and Rouse Hill, to commence construction in 2017 an expansion of the current light rail system to Dulwich Hill, Circular Quay and Barangaroo. In August 2010, the federal Labor Party announced funding for the Epping-Parramatta rail line (as an extension of the Carlingford Line) as part of its re-election bid for the 2010 federal election, despite it not appearing in the State Government's Transport Plan. In March 2011, the state election resulted in the election of Barry O'Farrell as premier of NSW, who committed to constructing the North West rail line and the light rail extension. The Western Express and CBD Relief Line were cancelled by the new government. The Epping-Parramatta rail line was later shelved by the NSW Government. NSW Transport Masterplan, 2012 In June 2012, the government released the Sydney's Rail Future: Modernising Sydney's Trains plan. The plan warned that if there was not a second Harbour Crossing and CBD line by 2031 there would be moderate to severe overcrowding on lines approaching the CBD, with passenger displacement predicted for the Northern Line and East Hills/Illawarra Line. The plan also predicted further congestion of the three major CBD stations: Central, Town Hall and Wynyard.
