Sydney Metro City & Southwest Train Testing January 2024

Testing is hitting full throttle as the Sydney Metro City & Southwest line gears up for passenger services to begin this year.
While most of NSW was easing into 2024, testing was ramping up in the 15.5-kilometre twin metro tunnels between Chatswood and Sydenham.
Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 January saw major testing milestones achieved, with 33 of all 45 metro trains in the combined fleet completing at least one return journey between Tallawong and Sydenham.

    3:50 love the median human height barrier doors - was just thinking about how cute they are at Expo station near Changi on East West Line of MRT. Between this and Metro Tunnel in Melbo - it's an exciting year for transport.

    What’s the idea behind having different rolling stock anyway as opposed to just using Alstom’s trains on all future metro lines? I’m not against having different train designs I’m just curious as to why it’s the case I suppose.

    @@fictilliusdoesn’t that increase maintenance cost though? Like you look at communist countries are they all use similar rolling stock bc it saves on maintenance. Every Chinese metro system is built to the same standard so I metro train from shanghai could be used in another city. You look at all the Soviet counties, used similar rolling stock as well. That’s bc they were much poorer and streamlining made it much cheaper in the long run.

    They can be driven by humans, when required. The controls are locked under a cover when not in use. It may also be a requirement, if not legal, then operational, to display red lights on the rear. I would have to do too much Googling to confirm though.

    There's no hard and fast line between suburban rail and a metro, so which parts do you care about? Single level, high capacity trains? Already here. High frequency service? Also already here, depending on the line. Platform screen doors? When the "Metro" tunnel opens later this year. Automated? That has to wait for the SRL.

    Most likely just for whilst testing is ongoing I’m guessing, they’ll most likely change it all over to the current ones when the line opens to the public. No need to worry as most of the announcements and sounds you hear with the doors are mainly for testing purposes.
