Metro services between Chatswood and Sydenham are just around the corner with the first stage of Sydney Metro City & Southwest opening to the public in the coming months.
This will make the commute between the north-west, lower north shore, Sydney city, North Sydney, and parts of South Sydney and the Inner West easier, faster and more reliable.
You’ll soon be able to catch turn-up-and-go Metro services to or from any of the 21 stations between Tallawong in Sydney’s Northwest and Sydenham in the Inner West – including key employment districts like Sydney city (four new stations) and North Sydney, Chatswood, Macquarie Park and Waterloo. Some examples of indicative travel times between key locations are:
- Castle Hill to Martin Place in 35 mins
- Epping to Victoria Cross (North Sydney) in 21 mins
- Sydenham to Chatswood in 22 mins
- Central to Macquarie Park in 24 mins
You can find out how long your future Metro trip will take using the - travel calculator.
Specific information about how commuters can take advantage of Metro services will be provided on this page as the opening approaches. Our Travel Choices program will also work directly with interested organisations and their employees to provide tailored commuting advice to help individuals make smarter travel choices.
In addition to the opening of the Chatswood to Sydenham section, the final stage of the City & Southwest project involves converting the existing T3 Bankstown train line to Metro standards so Metro services can run from Tallawong in Sydney’s north-west all the way to Bankstown via the CBD every four minutes during the peak from 2025.
This means that commuters from the southwest of Sydney will be able to enjoy the same benefits. You can find out how long your future Metro trip from the southwest will take using the travel calculator also.
Further information, including how we will keep you moving during the conversion of the T3 Bankstown line can be found here.
