[42] The remaining two consortia who were not successful would then bid for the Western Tunnelling Package to build 9 kilometres (5.6mi) of twin tunnels between Sydney Olympic Park and Westmead. [92], The South East Sydney Transport Strategy of the New South Wales government envisions a metro line starting from the CBD with stations at Green Square, Randwick, two at Maroubra, Malabar and La Perouse built by 2041, as well as another one from Randwick to Eastlakes and, via the Domestic and International terminals of Sydney Airport, further on to Brighton-Le-Sands and then Kogarah by 2056. At Epping, the line connects to the existing 13km (8.1mi) Epping to Chatswood rail link, which was converted from heavy rail to rapid transit standards and segregated from the existing Sydney Trains network. 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 15km (9.3mi) twintunnels in Bella Vista and Epping, which are currently the longest tunnels constructed in Australia.

[14] The Labor opposition also announced its commitment to fund the project if it won the election, at the expense of cancelling other announced transport and road projects such as the Western Harbour Tunnel & Beaches Link. [8][9] There have been plans for an underground metro system for the city as early as 2001, with unsuccessful attempts to build a line between 2008 and 2010. It will comprise six stations and service the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport upon opening in 2026. A new metro station at Westmead - one of Australia's largest health and education precincts. [88][89] This funding also includes $50 million towards the business case process for the North-South Rail Link and $61 million for the Elizabeth Drive overpass. [30] Under this proposal, the North West Rail Link would be built as a single-deck, privately operated metro connecting to a future second harbour crossing. It consists of 23km (14mi) of new track between Rouse Hill and Epping, which includes eight new stations. In March 2018, the government announced that an additional station would be built at Westmead, as well as one that connected to either of the existing stations at Concord West or North Strathfield. 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.[52].

More than 60 lifts, 140 escalators, 1300 CCTV cameras and a range of station systems equipment have been ordered for Sydney Metro West as part of two framework contracts. The first of these was the Western Fast Rail which was proposed by a private consortium, linking Wynyard and Penrith stations. [48][49], Services began on 26 May 2019. [23] It was later revealed that the cost had jumped from $4 billion to $5.3 billion in six months,[24] and internal estimates showed that the metro would run at only 15% of its maximum capacity. [46] In September 2007 the proposal was again shown to the NSW Government. Accordingly, no ministerial press releases or related information issued by the Government from this date will be available on this website.
