Sydney’s new metro railway Sydney Metro is a new world-class railway for Sydney. Services start in the city’s North West region in mid-2019 on Australia’s first fully-automated railway, with 13 metro stations and 4000 new commuter car parking spaces. A new generation of metro trains will run every four minutes in the peak in each direction. Customers won’t need a timetable, they’ll just turn up and go. Sydney’s fast, safe and reliable metro trains are fully-air conditioned with new customer benefits like multi-purpose spaces for luggage and parents with prams, as well as wheelchair spaces and priority seating in each carriage. Technology like platform screen doors – used for the first time in Australia – will keep people and objects away from the tracks, also allowing trains to get in and out of stations much faster. All metro stations will be fully accessible with lifts and level access between platforms and trains, making it easier for more customers to use public transport. From the north west, metro rail is being extended under Sydney Harbour, through new underground city stations and beyond to the south west. In 2024, Sydney will have 31 metro railway stations and a 66-kilometre stand-alone metro railway system. There will be capacity for a metro train every two minutes in each direction under the Sydney city centre. Sydney’s new metro, together with signalling and infrastructure upgrades across the existing Sydney suburban rail network, will increase the capacity of train services entering the Sydney central business district (CBD) – from about 120 an hour currently to up to 200 services beyond 2024. That’s an increase of up to 60 per cent capacity across the network to meet demand.
