Sydney Metro welcomes commuters aboard new underground city section

The highly anticipated Chatswood to Sydenham extension will drastically cut travel times in Sydney

The first metro train service on the new section was scheduled to depart Sydenham at 4:54am, travelling the newly opened stretch of the extension under Sydney harbour to reach Chatswood station by 5:16am, where it would continue on to Tallawong on the original north-west line that opened in 2019.
