The Australian and New South Wales (NSW) Governments are jointly working on the 23km metro railway and six stations.

This metro track will span between St Marys and the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, as well as feature two stations at the airport.

Last month, the northbound Sydney Trains track in NSW was moved to connect with new tracks located 20m to the west to accommodate the Metro North West Line, which will extend into the new twin metro tunnels.

The Sydney Trains T1 North Shore Line has been permanently rearranged between Artarmon and Chatswood.

The realignment process was undertaken as the current suburban railway tracks were obstructing the new Sydney Metro.
