Sydney Metro West is a new underground railway that will connect Greater Parramatta and the Sydney CBD.
This new NSW Government infrastructure project will see next generation trains integrated with the rest of Sydney’s public transport system. A once-in-a-century infrastructure investment, the project is set to transform Sydney for generations to come, doubling rail capacity between the two CBDs, linking new communities to rail services and supporting employment growth and housing supply.
- The Sydney Metro West project will have a target travel time of about 20 minutes between Parramatta and Sydney CBD.
- Metro West trains will be next generation, fully air-conditioned
- Metro West stations will be fully accessible with lifts and level access between trains and platforms.
- The locations of seven metro stations have been confirmed at Westmead, Parramatta, Sydney Olympic Park, North Strathfield, Burwood North, Five Dock and The Bays. Further planning is underway to determine the location of the Sydney CBD station and Pyrmont station.
- Metro West Sydney will use the Opal ticketing system with fares set by the NSW Government.

Sydney Metro West will begin night works around the future Westmead metro station site from Thursday 26 October. Works which include site investigations along utility routes will continue until late November. The work will progress along Hawkesbury Road, Hassall Street and the intersections of both with Alexandra Avenue to assess ground conditions and confirm the location of the existing underground utility services.
This work will take up to 13 nights, weather and ground conditions permitting, taking place on: Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays between 8pm and 5am.
Site investigation work will involve:
- setting up traffic management

- Australia’s first autonomous tunnel boring machines (TBM) are coming to Western Sydney
A new fleet of TBMs, including Australia’s first autonomous machines, will build 24-kilometre tunnels from the Sydney CBD to Parramatta with tunnelling from The Bays to Sydney Olympic Park scheduled to start at the end of this year.
Autonomous machines will be used to build twin nine-kilometre rail tunnels between Sydney Olympic Park and Westmead. These two mega machines will utilise innovative artificial intelligence software, to automatically steer, operate and monitor a number of TBM functions.
The two autonomous TBM’s are expected to be in the ground by the end of 2023 to deliver the metro rail tunnels from Sydney Olympic Park to Westmead.
Each autonomous machine is 1,266 tonne, 165 metres long, and designed to excavate through sandstone and shale.
They will tunnel an average of 200 metres per week with a team of 15 workers per shift.
Read more$2.16 billion Sydney Metro West tunnelling contract awardedThe Gamuda Australia and Laing O’Rourke Consortium has been awarded the contract to deliver nine kilometres of twin metro rail tunnels between Sydney Olympic Park and Westmead.
This is the second major tunnelling package awarded on the city-shaping project.
Work is underway to deliver twin tunnels between The Bays and Sydney Olympic Park following the contract awarded to Acciona Ferrovial Joint Venture last year.
Read more - Geotechnical investigations
Geotechnical investigations are being done along the length of the Sydney Metro West alignment.
More than 50 bore holes are being drilled, ranging in depth from 10 metres to 100 metres, to inform the final design of the tunnels and stations.
Data captured from each borehole includes the depth of each layer of soil and rock, the properties and strength of the soil and rock and the type of soil and rock in each location – for example, determining if its Ashfield Shale, Mittagong Formation or Hawkesbury Sandstone.
Read moreMetro West orders boring machinesTwo huge tunnel boring machines (TBM) have been ordered to build tunnels for the Sydney Metro West project. The first of six TBMs being used to build the 24 kilometre tunnels from the Sydney CBD to Parramatta.
The two machines are part of the $1.96 billion Central Tunnelling Package awarded in July to the Acciona Ferrovial Joint Venture.
Each TBM will tunnel an average of 200 metres per week and will be operated by a team of 15 workers per shift as they dig the 11 kilometre twin tunnels from The Bays to Sydney Olympic Park.
The two borers are 1,266 tonne, 165 metre long double-shield, hard rock, gripper-type TBMs, designed to excavate through sandstone and shale.

The planning process and approvals
(Back to top)The NSW Government began work on Sydney Metro West in 2020.
The Sydney Metro West project has received two major planning approvals, paving the way for mega tunnel boring machines to be in the ground by the end of 2022.
Planning approval has been granted for the Sydney Metro West project concept between Westmead and the Sydney CBD and for major construction work between Westmead and The Bays. This approval means work can now begin to prepare for tunnels and station excavation between Westmead and The Bays.
The Environmental Impact Statement was on public exhibition between 30 April and 26 June 2020. Submissions (link is external) received from stakeholders and the community have been considered in the assessment of the project.

Strategically located to the north of the existing Parramatta Station, Parramatta Metro Station will be located on the block bounded by George, Macquarie, Church and Smith streets.
One station entrance will be on Horwood Place and a second station entrance location is to be determined.
Parramatta Metro Station will support Parramatta CBD as a major employment growth centre, boosting jobs and improving connections across Greater Sydney. It will provide easy, efficient and accessible interchange with buses and Parramatta Light Rail.
The new metro station will integrate with the proposed Civic Link, a green, pedestrianised public space from Parramatta Square in the south to Parramatta River in the north.
-
At Westmead, new metro platforms will be located next to the existing Westmead Station providing an easy above-ground interchange with the T1 Western Line and T5 Cumberland Line.
The new station will also provide customers with easy access to Parramatta Light Rail, T-Way buses and other bus services.
Westmead Metro Station will be located on the eastern side of Hawkesbury Road, south of the existing Westmead Station. As well as connecting customers to the Westmead health, education and employment hub, the new metro station will service residential areas experiencing growth and renewal in north and south Westmead.
-
Sydney Olympic Park Metro Station will be located to the south of the existing Olympic Park Station. The station will provide easy interchange with the planned Parramatta Light Rail, the T7 Olympic Park Line and buses.
A metro station at Sydney Olympic Park will reinforce its status as Australia’s premier events, sporting and entertainment precinct and provide further transport options for the 10 million people who visit or stay each year.
The station will sit to the east of Olympic Boulevard with the main station entrances between Herb Elliot Avenue and Figtree Drive and off Dawn Fraser Avenue.
Planning for the project continues
(Back to top)Future project approvals will consider major civil construction work including station excavation and tunnelling between The Bays and Sydney CBD including Pyrmont; and all stations, depots and rail systems between Westmead and the Sydney CBD Station.
The NSW Government will also plan for the areas surrounding the stations including place-making and any integrated station or precinct developments in some locations.
The community will be able to learn more and have their say at each stage of the planning process.
