The Kingsford branch turns into Anzac Parade and continues down to Kingsford. The Randwick branch runs via Alison Rd, Wansey Rd and High St. All the peak hour express routes were also kept as the line does not have sufficient capacity during peak hour.Īfter Moore Park, the route split into two branches.

Draft changes were finally revealed in May 2021. However, for various reasons, this did not occur. It was planned that another significant change would occur when the line opened to reduce the number of buses duplicating the light rail route. Several routes were joined together so that they no longer terminated in the City due to lack of parking space. Termini were also changed for most routes.

It is the only light rail line to use the Citadis fleet, as all other lines use Urbos 3 units. This is to increase onboard capacity, accommodating higher patronage for the route’s major destinations, such as the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Moore Park precinct, which includes Sydney Cricket Ground and the Entertainment Quarter. These trams operate in a 10-car formation, consisting of two 5-car sets semi-permanently coupled to each other. A fleet of 60 Alstom Citadis 305 LRVs, based at a stabling yard near Royal Randwick, run on the line.
