Program Overview
A new generation of fast, safe and reliable metro services.
The project is expected to create about 10,000 direct and 70,000 indirect jobs during construction.
Stations have been confirmed at Westmead, Parramatta, Sydney Olympic Park, North Strathfield, Burwood North, Five Dock, The Bays, Pyrmont and Hunter Street in the Sydney CBD.
Metro means a new generation of world-class, fast, safe and reliable trains easily connecting customers to where they want to go.
Customers do not need timetables — they just turn up and go.
With customers at the centre of all design decisions, stations will be fully accessible and quick and easy to get in and out of. Trains will be fast, safe and reliable, and technology will keep people connected at every step of the journey.
Sydney Metro will integrate with new communities and transform existing urban centres, as well as the broader transport network, so customers have a range of transport options to get to and from their destinations.
Sydney’s new metro railway will have a target capacity of about 40,000 customers per hour. Sydney’s current suburban transport systems can reliably carry 24,000 people an hour per line.
