The Minns Labor Government has today announced even more new light rail services to cater for rising passenger demand on weekends across the L1 Dulwich Hill light rail line.

An extra 48 services connecting the Inner West with the city are being added from Saturday 29 March after patronage growth on weekends on the Dulwich Hill L1 line rose by 17 per cent between 2023 and 2024.

Passengers can expect a light rail service every eight minutes, rather than every ten between 11am and 7pm.

These new weekend light rail services for the L1 line mean that passengers between Dulwich Hill and Central will get even more light rail services, after the Minns Labor Government delivered more than 450 extra weekday light rail services on the L1 line since June 2023.

The Government also extended the operating hours of the L1 line in 2024, so passengers between Dulwich Hill and Central could benefit from Light Rail services operating from 5am to 1am, seven days a week.

Extending the L1 line’s operating hours delivered an extra 160 services to the weekly timetable for Inner West light rail passengers, supporting early risers and late-night revellers to travel around the Inner West and CBD.

Quotes attributable to Member for Summer Hill Jo Haylen MP:

“Inner Westies love the light rail so our government is delivering even more new services on weekends on top of the hundreds of new weekday services and extended hours that we delivered since 2023.”

“These new services won’t just help Inner Westies get to the Fish Markets or the CBD, they’ll give passengers in Dulwich Hill and Summer Hill a direct connection to the new Metro when it opens.”
