Christie Report

posted Sunday 19 May 2002
An 89-page overview report Long-term Strategic Plan for Rail prepared by Ron Christie when Co-ordinator-General of Rail in June 2001 was suppressed by the Government and did not surface until a leaked copy was extensively reported in the Sydney Morning Herald on 25-27 February 2002. The report presses for a huge expansion of Sydney's railways, arguing that travel around the metropolis will become very awkward otherwise (other arguments, such as air pollution and safety, are also advanced).

The Government's response to the publication was to say the report was only a "shopping list" of possible projects.

Following pressure from the cross-bench of the Legislative Council, the report was officially released in May 2002. Action for Public Transport has a copy.
