stations to be served[edit]

The list of stations on the cover of the SMH was unsourced, and I can find no collaborating information. I am only certain that a few stations like Moore Park and Drummoyne are in the proposal Kransky 13:54, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense conjecture dressed as fact[edit]

The article states

"The line was announced in September 2007 alongside plans to postpone construction of an underground link between Redfern and Chatswood"

This "announcement", as far as I'm aware, was not made by RailCorp, TIDC, or the NSW Government. It was instead a report by a newspaper on a 'meeting of transport bosses', where supposedly at this meeting the Anzac line was proposed and there was discussion of dropping the Redfern-Chatswood line.

All of this is of course based on conjecture contained in the newspaper article and has no place in an encyclopedia. The current status as far as the government seems to indicate is that this Anzac line is a non-official proposal (ie. not anywhere near being officially implemented and not officially being proposed) while the Redfern-Chatswood line (CBD link), remains a current and official proposed project.

Then what do you call Morris Iemma's announcement this morning (11 December) that the Anzac metro would be a reality and it was "not a question of if, but when"? The line is not complete conjecture - it's a proposed line, it's just not yet in the planning stages like the other lines.

Split into North West Metro and South East Metro[edit]

The entire Anzac line is split into North West Metro (from St James to Top Ryde), and the South East Metro (from St James to Malabar). This article should be split and merged with the corresponding articles too. --Pikablu0530 (talk) 06:55, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - except according to the policy document the South East Metro is just to be an extension of the North West Metro, so it should be merged onto the same page. The Anzac Line stuff should be left as an historical record of what was originally proposed - the ECRL page has almost nothing on the former Parramatta Rail Link proposal, so we don't want to repeat that.

Metro Articles[edit]

I would be careful about expending too much time and effort on articles like this, as realistically the track record of the NSW government suggests that they all have little chance of ever being built. These plans anmd proposols seem to come and go at ministerila whim.i wouls suggest merging this, the West Metro and maybe even the North West Metro into a Metro proposals for Sydney (or something) page. That way if it all gets dumped, which I am sure it will, then there will be some historical record.MrHarper (talk) 06:55, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Let's leave it for the moment and wait and see. At the moment none of the lines have a status such that they have been dumped and are not going to be built at all. As long as the "proposed line" tag is on the articles Wikipedia policy says it's ok to keep these articles. JRG (talk) 04:37, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
