WHEN the light rail was announced, I saw a plan for a light rail network around Newcastle and suburbs. This plan was very ambitious; it even showed a line to the airport at Williamtown. What happened to it?
The powers that be both government and corporate seem to have gone quiet on the scheme. Have they forgotten about it? Do they want everyone to forget about it? Last I heard, an extension to Broadmeadow was part of a 10-year plan. What about the rest of it? While I had reservations about the plan, I wasn't opposed to it. I just wanted those in power to get it right, and they need to.
