Sydney Light Rail – Getting to Sporting Events in Style The CBD and South East Light Rail is a new light rail network for Sydney’s CBD and popular southeast sporting and university precincts, currently under construction. The 12km route will feature 19 stops, extending from the iconic Circular Quay along George Street to Central Station, through Surry Hills to Moore Park, then to Kensington and Kingsford via Anzac Parade and Randwick via Alison Road and High Street. Civil construction will be progressively completed across the majority of construction zones in 2018, with testing along the Randwick section of the network underway as we speak. Upon completion, the Sydney Light Rail will make the journey to and from the inner south-east much easier and more efficient. The planned south-east route will service several championship golf courses, Randwick racecourse, the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium, the University of NSW, Centennial Park with its multitude of sports grounds and public places, many private and public schools, and the major tourist hubs of Moore Park, Fox Studios, the Hordern Pavilion, the Entertainment Quarter as well as Surrey Hills and Paddington.
Sydney Light Rail also incorporates the Inner West Light Rail, which is currently operating as the L1 Dulwich Hill Line. The 12.7km route connects Central Station and Dulwich Hill via 23 light rail stops and will transport more than 9.7 million customers each year. A combined bus and light rail network will significantly improve public transport access to above mentioned major sporting and entertainment facilities at Moore Park and Randwick along with the University of NSW, TAFE and health precincts. Additional light rail services will provide extra capacity for major events – no longer will 50,000 people have to walk back to the city in the rain after a four-hour Bruce Springsteen concert in Moore Park (see news reports from the summer of 2013)! Further to this… in the past, getting back to the city from the Randwick races or Sydney Cricket Ground was once near impossible without a significant walk. This journey will now be revolutionised and made much easier with Sydney Light Rail.
