The Parramatta Light Rail is a 12-kilometre (7 mi) standard gauge light rail line in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The first stage of the line runs from Westmead to Carlingford via the Western Sydney centre of Parramatta. Construction commenced in 2019, and the first stage opened on 20 December 2024. Services on the first stage run as the L4 Westmead & Carlingford Line.
A second stage is planned for a branch from Camellia or Rydalmere to Sydney Olympic Park. Construction of stage two is expected to commence in late 2024, with major works beginning in 2025.
The Parramatta Light Rail network is segregated and physically separate from the rest of Sydney's light rail network and hence does not connect with the L1, L2 and L3 lines.
