Dulwich Hill Line
The Dulwich Hill Line (numbered L1 and also known as the Inner West Light Rail), is a light rail line in Sydney, Australia running from Central railway station through the Inner West to Dulwich Hill. The 23-stop, 12.8 kilometre route is the only operational light rail line in Sydney.
Most of the line is built on the path of the former Metropolitan Goods railway line, opening in stages between 1997 and 2014. Services on the line are operated by Transdev Sydney as part of the ALTRAC Light Rail consortium.
==Background==
Most of the alignment of the Dulwich Hill Line had its origins as the Metropolitan Goods railway line. From the time when the Sydney Railway Company was formed in 1848, it had been the intention of the company to build a freight terminal at Darling Harbour. To this end, a railway line was constructed between the Sydney Railway Station (the predecessor to Central railway station) and Darling Harbour, which opened on 26 September 1855.〔Forsyth, J.H. (ed.) (1988-93), Stations & Tracks; Vol. 1: "Main Suburban & Branches -- Illawarra & Branches". State Rail Authority of New South Wales: Sydney, p. 97.〕 This line was extended to Dulwich Hill via Lilyfield in 1922. A short branch from Lilyfield to Rozelle served another freight terminal.
With widespread use as a freight line throughout the early 20th century, the use of containers and the decentralisation of freight terminals in Sydney to places such as Port Botany and Chullora, Darling Harbour traffic was reduced considerably. The port closed and the area was redeveloped in the 1980s.
