When i lived in carlingford its only use was so save tge hassle of parking at rosehill gardens for boat shows etc. If i had to public transport it into the city the m2 bus was way faster. But extending the light rail to go past parramatta makes more sense because when that train line went to clyde only, from memory, clyde didnt get any express services to the city.

Light rail is slow, pointless and doesn't have any capacity, they could have simply bored underground from Epping (like they said they were going to do when I was growing up in Carlingford) to Carlingford station using the exiting infrastructure then it would have made a practical loop both out to the west or around to Bankstown line figure 8.

Light rail is a feel good warm fussy thing.
