Sydney Metro - City and Southwest

The Project

Sydney Metro is Australia’s biggest public transport project. This new standalone railway will deliver 31 metro stations and more than 66 kilometres of new metro rail, revolutionising the way Australia’s biggest city travels.

Metro means a new generation of world-class fast, safe and reliable trains easily connecting customers to where they want to go. When services start in the first half of 2019, customers won’t need timetables – they’ll just turn up and go with a train every four minutes in the peak.

When Sydney Metro is extended into the central business district (CBD) and beyond in 2024, metro rail will run from Sydney’s booming North West region under Sydney Harbour, through new underground stations in the CBD and beyond to the south west.

Sydney Metro comprises the following stages:

Stage 1: Sydney Metro Northwest

Formerly the 36 kilometre North West Rail Link, this $8.3 billion project opens in the first half of 2019 with a metro train every four minutes in the peak. It includes eight new metro stations, five upgraded stations and 4,000 commuter car spaces

Stage 2: Sydney Metro City and Southwest

A 30 kilometre extension of metro rail from the end of Sydney Metro Northwest at Chatswood under Sydney Harbour, through new CBD stations and south west to Bankstown. It is due to open in 2024 with seven new metro stations and 11 upgraded stations.
