Interchange
No Train from Liverpool to Bankstown
Sydenham Interchange
Central Interchange
Alternative Shuttle Options for T3 Bankstown to Lidcombe line after Sydney Metro City & Southwest from 2025 include replacing Sydney Trains at Yagoona and Birrong with Bus or Light Rail.
The NSW Government does not support maintaining the Bankstown to Lidcombe shuttle in the long term future.
It is unclear if Sydney Metro has legitimate planning authority for the closure of Sydney Trains stations outside of the Sydenham to Bankstown corridor (e.g. Yagoona and Birrong).
