Newcastle is set to receive a light rail connection to its coastline, with Wickham the preferred area for a Transport Interchange, as part of plans being unveiled by the State Government today.
It's understood the Government has narrowed the possibilities to two route options for the light rail.
One route would see the network run down Hunter Street through the Mall, while option two proposes the new system run alongside the current heavy rail corridor on Scott Street.
Both routes are expected to end at Pacific Park, a short distance from Newcastle Beach, with Wickham being the favourite Interchange location.
