Revision as of 05:12, 13 February 2019


Sydney Metro is a future automated rapid transit system in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Sydney will be the first Australian city to build a metro system.[1][2] The network will be controlled by the Sydney Metro Authority and Transport for NSW, both of which are agencies of the New South Wales Government.[3] The network will be part of Transport for NSW's Opal ticketing system.

The first line is planned to consist of 31 stations and 66 km of track. It will be served by driverless, single deck trains, arriving every 4 minutes in peak hours and every 10 minutes at other times. The first section of this line, called Sydney Metro Northwest, is currently testing and is expected to open in mid 2019. It will link Rouse Hill to Chatswood. Construction has also commenced on Sydney Metro City & Southwest, an extension across Sydney Harbour, through the Central Business District (CBD) and then on to Bankstown.[4] This stage is expected to open in 2024.[5]

Sydney Metro West, a separate line between the Sydney CBD and Parramatta, was approved for financing by the New South Wales Government in June 2018[6] and is expected to open in the second half of the 2020s.

Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport, a third line, is also in the early planning stages. This line is planned to provide a connection between the existing suburban railway station at St Marys and the new Western Sydney Airport.

History

Earlier proposals

Then-Co-ordinator-General of Rail Ron Christie released his "Long-term Strategic Plan for Rail" report in 2001, outlining long-term goals for the expansion of the rail network.[7] He suggested that after 2020 a number of "metro" lines that would be operationally independent from the existing network should be created.[8]

The idea for a metro resurfaced in late 2007, when discussions about an underground 'Anzac Line' took place within the New South Wales Government. The line would have run from West Ryde in Sydney's north-west to Malabar in the south-east. The line was never officially adopted as a government project and did not come to fruition.[9] In early 2008, following the shelving of various heavy rail expansion projects from the 2005 Metropolitan Rail Expansion Program, the Government officially announced the Template:Convert North West Metro.[10] Expected to cost $12 billion, it would have linked Rouse Hill in Sydney's north-west with the CBD, with construction starting in 2010 and finishing in 2017.[11]

Funding for the North West Metro was dependent on the privatisation of the electricity network,[12] and after a change of the state's premier in late 2008 it was cancelled due to budgetary concerns. Its replacement was the Template:Convert, CBD Metro, a dramatically shortened route running from Rozelle in the inner-west and into the CBD through to Central.[13] Construction was scheduled to start in 2010, like its predecessor, but finish earlier in 2015. The CBD Metro was to have formed the "central spine" of a future metro network, with a planned West Metro extension to Westmead and Parramatta to be constructed soon after, subject to federal funding.[14] The New South Wales Government's initial submission to the Australian Government body Infrastructure Australia for funding was rejected due to "a lack of integrated planning".[15]

Facing increased costs[16] and concerns about patronage[17], and following a change of premier, the CBD Metro was cancelled in early 2010.[18][19] The new premier, Kristina Keneally, chose instead to focus on expansion of the existing heavy rail network.[20]

Revival

In mid-2012 the newly elected Coalition government announced Sydney's Rail Future and the NSW Transport Masterplan.[21] Under this proposal, the North West Rail Link would be built as a single-deck, privately operated metro connecting to a future second harbour rail crossing.[22] These plans received criticism on the basis that they might not have the capacity of existing double-deck trains,[23] and concerns over the inability of trains on the existing network to use the new crossing.[24]

In 2014 the Government announced the second harbour crossing under the name Sydney Rapid Transit, as part of the 'Rebuilding NSW' infrastructure plan funded through the sale of electricity infrastructure.[25][26] The new railway would cross Sydney Harbour, tunnel beneath the CBD, and join the Bankstown line which would be converted to metro standards.[27]

The system was officially renamed 'Sydney Metro' in June 2015 following the passage of power privatisation bills.[28]

Under construction

Sydney Metro Northwest

The first stage will connect Sydney's north-western suburbs to Chatswood. Template:Convert of new track is planned between Rouse Hill and Epping, including eight new stations. The Template:Convert Epping to Chatswood rail link will then be converted to rapid transit standards and segregated from the existing Sydney Trains network.[29] Passengers will be able to interchange with the existing system at both Epping and Chatswood. Construction on Sydney Metro Northwest began in late 2013 and the first services are scheduled to start in 2019.[30]

In November 2016, Sydney Metro, in particular the John Holland Group, Dragados and Transport for NSW, were awarded the 2016 NSW Premier's Award for Building Infrastructure for the 15 km twin-tunnels in Bella Vista and Epping, which are currently the longest tunnels constructed in Australia.[31] The completion of these tunnels in early 2016 marked the completion of the first stage of Sydney Metro Northwest. The NSW Premier's award recognises "infrastructure projects in the state that make a difference to the local community".[31]

Sydney Metro City & Southwest

The second stage will extend Sydney Metro Northwest Template:Convert from Template:Rwsa on the North Shore, to Template:Rwsa in the city's south-west via the Sydney central business district. The centrepiece of the project is a new twin-tunnel rail crossing under Sydney Harbour. Together with planned improvements to the Main Western line, the project is expected to increase capacity on the Sydney rail network by up to 60%, and allow for the movement of over 100,000 extra commuters across the network every hour.[32] The City & Southwest extension represents the first phase of the "southern sector conversion" envisaged in Sydney's Rail Future.[5]

Proposed extensions

Sydney Metro West

Main article: Sydney Metro West

Sydney Metro West is a separate line between the Sydney CBD and Westmead. Planning for the line is at an extremely early stage. Construction is expected to begin by 2022 and the line is expected to open in the second half of the 2020s.

Rolling stock

Twenty-two self-driving Alstom Metropolis electric multiple units have been ordered for the network. The trains come in a 6-car single deck configuration. Each train features two dedicated areas for prams, luggage and bicycles. There are three doors per side per carriage and no internal doors between the carriages.[33] The trains seat 378 people, with a total capacity of 1,100.[34] The seating comes in the longitudinal configuration (running along the side walls of the carriages), in accordance with the style of most other metro trains.[35]

The trains were built in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, India.[36] The first train arrived in Rouse Hill on 26 September 2017.[37] Dynamic testing on the first of the trains began in February 2018.[38]

Capacity

Stage 1 is due to operate with 6-car trains running on 4 minute headways. After the addition of the Stage 2 extension to Bankstown the system will require at least 59 six-car trains to run every four minutes during peak periods. However the stations’ platforms will be configured to allow for future use of 8-car trains and the signalling system designed to allow for 2 minute headways, both of which are planned to be introduced once sufficient patronage demands it. Eight-car trains have a design capacity of 1,539 customers, and increasing the running frequency to ultimately 30 trains per hour (2 minute headway) would provide a maximum capacity of 46,170 passengers per hour per direction.[39] The line will run 21 or 22 hours.Template:Citation needed

Potential extensions

To Hurstville

The second phase of the southern sector conversion would see two of the four tracks between Sydenham and Hurstville, part of the Sydney Trains Illawarra line, converted to rapid transit and added to the Sydney Metro network. This would increase rail capacity between Hurstville and the city by 10 trains per hour. Though a precise construction timeframe was not provided, the plan envisages all work being completed by 2031. The Hurstville conversion would add eight stations and Template:Convert to the metro network.[5] Developing plans for this extension has proven difficult, and the Sydney Morning Herald reported in February 2016 that the project may have been dropped.[40]

Western Sydney routes

A scoping study into rail investment to service Western Sydney and the proposed Western Sydney Airport was announced by the New South Wales and Australian governments in November 2015.[41] A discussion paper was released in September 2016. The paper proposed various options that could provide a rail link to the airport, some of which are or are likely to be metro lines. The metro options are:[42]

Option Mode
Line to the Sydney Metro Northwest at Rouse Hill Likely to be metro
Extension of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest from Bankstown via Liverpool Metro
Line between Macarthur and Schofields via Western Sydney Airport and St Marys Likely to be metro

The paper also suggested two other potential metro projects: a new line between the Sydney CBD and Parramatta via Five Dock and Sydney Olympic Park and conversion of a section of the T2 Airport Line between the CBD and Revesby via the existing airport.[42] The New South Wales Government announced Sydney Metro West in November 2016, turning the CBD to Parramatta line into an official project of the government.

Template:Mapbox The study's final report was released in March 2018. It proposed two new lines to ultimately service the Western Sydney airport precinct: a "North-South Link" from Schofields to Macarthur and an "East-West Link" from Parramatta to the "Badgerys Creek Aerotropolis" - an area south of the airport. The report suggested that "a metro or light metro style of train would suit the North-South Link". The East-West Link could form an extension of Sydney Metro West. Two extensions of the initial metro line were also proposed: an extension of the northern section from Cudgegong Road to Schofields and an extension of the southern section from Bankstown to Liverpool.[43]

At the same time, the governments announced the development of a new rail line serving the airport. This line would form part of the North-South Link, running south from St Marys to the airport, before continuing on to the Badgerys Creek Aerotropolis. Funding for the line will be split 50:50 between the governments.[44] The line is scheduled to open by the time the airport opens in 2026.[45]
