Transport for New South Wales announced that the formal planning process has started for the next part of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project, with a State Significant Infrastructure Application Report lodged for the Sydenham to Bankstown upgrade.
All 11 stations between Sydenham and Bankstown will be upgraded to modern standards with lifts, level platforms including screen doors for safety and increased security.
Sydney Metro will cut travel times between Sydenham and Macquarie Park by at least 16 minutes, also cutting up to 11 minutes on the trip between Bankstown and Martin Place.
Sydney Metro will take advantage of the four annual scheduled maintenance closures of the Bankstown Line to do upgrade work. An additional closure of between three to six months will be required to do work that can only be done once Sydney Trains have stopped operating on the line. This closure will be just before metro services start in 2024.
