Please click on the link to SIGN THE PETITION for a new bus service from Cherrybrook to Carlingford via Oakes Road bus interchange
For several years, the WPHVPA committee has been lobbying for better transport links between our valley and the City of Parramatta. Our original request was for a direct bus service from WPH to Parramatta, but with the opening of the Metro and the new light rail service from Carlingford Station, we are now requesting a bus link from Cherrybrook Station to Carlingford Station via the Oakes Road/M2 bus interchange. This route would link 3 major transport hubs, all of which have inadequate parking facilities. Increased use of public transport should alleviate some of the congestion through the Valley during morning and afternoon peak travel times.

At the City of Parramatta Council meeting on 28th August, councillors resolved to advocate for a new public bus service connecting the Parramatta Light Rail Stop in Carlingford to the Cherrybrook Metro Station, via the M2 Motorway express bus stop at Oakes Road. This connection along Jenkins Road and Oakes Road would benefit residents in Carlingford and West Pennant Hills, improving access to Parramatta, Macquarie Park and Castle Hill.
