Full speed ahead: trial running begins on city section of Sydney Metro
Monday, 24 June 2024
The Minns Labor Government can today reveal that Sydney Metro City has begun trial running of the full-service timetable before an expected opening during August of this year.
Upon opening, this service will provide faster trips for commuters travelling across Sydney - allowing people to spend less time travelling and more time with their family and friends.
This builds on the government’s planning reforms that allow more homes to be built near transport infrastructure - building homes that are close to jobs and creating connected communities.
The trial running that is beginning will see services run between Chatswood, under the Sydney CBD and out to Sydenham.
It follows more than a year of intensive testing and commissioning of the new infrastructure, including the new tunnels, trains and stations- a crucial step in achieving accreditation before passenger services commence.
Since the rigorous testing program started in April 2023, approximately 9,800 hours of a total of 11,000 hours of required testing has been completed along the 51.5-kilometre line from Tallawong to Sydenham.
Network tests include running operational processes and procedures, as well as replicating emergency exercises to assess the response to unplanned situations.
These scenarios include incidents and service recovery, such as trains stopped in tunnels, customer evacuations and drills involving emergency services.
When metro services start through the city this year, passengers will benefit from fully accessible, safe and direct public transport services with record travel times in the peak, including from:
• Martin Place to Waterloo in 6 minutes
• Sydenham to Macquarie University in 33 minutes
• Central to Chatswood in 15 minutes
• North Sydney’s Victoria Cross under the harbour to Barangaroo in 3 minutes
The extension of metro services from Sydenham to Bankstown will be the next stage of Sydney Metro’s transformation.

Why can't we have the SG "doors are closing" message ?
I live in the Southern Highlands how about spending some money on a decent train service to the city

With such a good service to and from the Blue Mountins I feel sorry for the Southern Highlands peopel with that very inferior service. Would there be the numbers to justify it?
Are the trains as fast as the ones in London? They don't look as fast. The best thing about the tube is its acceleration and speed between stations. Sydney trains have historically been too slow. I was hoping for a big step up in speed and acceleration with the metro.

I think the first few seconds of the video is from when they first started testing at very low speeds, if you ride the existing line between Chatswood and Tallawong, you’ll feel how fast it is

It's a pity passenger comfort was not a consideration when these trains were designed.

What an eyesore when you look at the way to build something and make it look and fit into the community absolutely ridiculous we need more port not more roads. It seems that only roads that can help out a handful of people that orchestrate everything here in Australia, the crime rate is through the roof just like the UK, nothing different or as we say here in Australia nothing for the grandkids every day
