Merge
Can we please merge this article into something else? There's no point in this article existing - all the history of it should go into the Main South Line which is what it actually is, and the individual stations' history should be part of the Inner West Line article or the individual stations. I have never heard of the title "Main Suburban Line" being used - the line between Redfern & Strathfield has always been part of the Main South. See
here - this site is sourced from a number of reputable books which would seem to agree with me.

My intention with writing this page is to have a place for technical and hitorical information regarding this section of line, information which does not readiliy fit into one of the line names that CityRail currently uses. It is referred to such on land surveys etc, but I will endeavour to find more citable sources for it. Not everthing is on-line (yet).

This page shouldn't exist - there's no way it can be turned into a page that can contain information that doesn't repeat itself. It's part of the Main South (now the South Line) and the information should be put there - the "Main Suburban" is just a nickname for that section - it has never been official.

You could rename it as Sydney Railway Company (1848-1855), it covers the data for thus company which isn't on the nswgr page or elsewhere. --

this article should be renamed or edited to reflect its historic nature. The main suburban no longer exists as is described in this article. The name itself exists as a contradiction, the suburban now refers to a specific piece of track between central platform 18 and St marys platform 4, while the main West runs from Sydney yard until well past the suburban network. All line names are now available online at railsafe
