Sydney Metro 2 Line-Wide Rail Tunnel

Sydney Metro 2 Line-Wide Tunnel

The NSW $6.2 billion Tunnel Sydney Metro City & Southwest project – fully funding Australia’s biggest public transport project. The next stage of the Sydney Metro Project named Sydney Metro 2 Line-Wide is a rail tunnel running from Chatswood in Sydney's north to Sydneham in Sydney's South.

This upgrade will address one of Sydney’s biggest rail bottlenecks, providing more reliable journeys for customers all across Sydney, as well as  increasing accessibility at all 11 stations. The update includes:

Sydney Metro, together with signalling and infrastructure upgrades across the existing network, will increase the capacity of train services across Sydney from about 120 an hour today, to up to 200 services an hour beyond 2024.

After the conversion, metro trains from Bankstown will run at least every four minutes in the peak, or 15 trains an hour.

The metro network will be fully segregated from the existing Sydney Trains network between Sydenham and Bankstown, improving the reliability of services on the line. Interchange between Sydney Metro and Sydney Trains at both locations will be provided, with improvements to station way-finding and signage.
