[edit] North West Rail Link
As part of the original plans for the North West Rail Link it was proposed to upgrade Cheltenham station to four tracks as part of the quadruplication of the line between Epping and Beecroft.[2] There were, however, no plans to stop North West Rail Line services at Cheltenham station. [3] However, due to complaints by local residents about noise and increased train services, the proposal to route the line through Cheltenham was scrapped, in favour of a tunnel starting at Epping station from the Epping to Chatswood Line.[4] Under the New South Wales State Plan there are still plans to upgrade the line between Strathfield and Hornsby to four tracks, and Cheltenham station would be upgraded as part of this project.[5]
