Sydney's $23 billion metro line opens
Sydney's new $23 billion metro rail line officially opened with its first service departing at 4:31am from Bankstown station. The driverless train network now extends to 10 additional stations through the city's south-west, connecting Bankstown to Sydenham and completing the 66-kilometre M1 line from Tallawong in the north-west to Bankstown in the south-west. Services will run every four minutes during peak hour, with almost 10,000 passengers expected to use the south-west section each morning.
