Sydney Metro is Australia's biggest public transport project. This background information about Stage 1, Sydney Metro Northwest provides context for teachers.

Sydney’s new generation of fast, safe and reliable metro trains are now operating on the Metro North West Line. There are 15 driverless trains an hour in each direction – that’s one train every four minutes. When Sydney Metro is extended into the CBD and beyond in 2024, there will be capacity for a metro train every two minutes in each direction under the city.
