7 problems with the new Chatswood-Epping Rail Link (Sydney, Australia) before it even opened
Submission time again, this month from regular submitter Elephino. Cheers mate :D
- It was originally designed to have a bridge, not a really long tunnel
- It was originally designed to go from Chatswood to Parramatta
- Due to the move to a tunnel, a station had to be removed from the planning due to being too deep underground
- The tunnel flooded at least twice as they were digging too close to the Lane Cove River
- The tracks lifted after being installed (they had actually been warned this would happen)
- It was over 3 billion dollars over budget and over 3 years behind schedule
- After announcing, in late January, an opening date of February 22, the line opened on February 23
