Monday maps- 1996 CityRail map

In 1996, The Cumberland Line opened. A new map was commissioned, with the new line of course, but also some other additions. The under-construction Airport line is added, as is a fairly poor attempt at representing the light rail line, then being built as far as Wentworth Park but marked as going to Pyrmont on the map. Note also the angle of the Carlingford line towards the Northern line to accommodate the proposed Chatswood- Parramatta line, and a gap between stations on the Western line to accommodate a proposed Nepean University station. Also Wolli Creek is marked as North Arncliffe.

All up, an improvement on the 1989 map.
