Sydney Metro West Opens

A driverless metro doubling rail capacity between Parramatta and the Sydney CBD. Estimated date.

Sydney Metro West is a 24 km fully automated underground line with nine stations between Hunter Street and Westmead, depot at Clyde; work began 2020, tunnelling from 2023^[1][2]
It will "double rail capacity between Parramatta and the Sydney CBD" and targets opening in 2032^[1][2]
The NSW Government reset the project to a 2032 completion on 7 December 2023 after an independent review that called the earlier date "arbitrary", and scoped up to two extra stations west of Sydney Olympic Park^[3]
Contracts include Central Tunnelling (Acciona/Ferrovial, $1.96bn), Western Tunnelling (Gamuda/Laing O'Rourke, $2.16bn), Eastern Tunnelling (John Holland/CPB/Ghella, $1.63bn) and Station Package West (Gamuda, $2.85bn)^[1]
Total cost has not been released; 2021 press reports suggested $27 billion and a 2033 opening^[1]
