We know rail travel could be a challenge as a result of industrial action.
So this weekend, we’re making all rail travel free.
Great to give Metro the big official opening tick with three Premiers. Thank you to the 50,000 workers who made this game-changing project possible!
We look forward to welcoming passengers on board Sydney’s new railway – from Sydenham to Chatswood – from Monday 19 August.
We were days away from opening the Chalmers Street entry at Central when a fire ripped through a Surry Hills building just metres away.
6 months later, the building that withstood the impact of falling walls, heat and gushing water, has been rebuilt and is now open.
It wasn’t to be – but tonight the Matildas can hold their heads up high.
Their record on the pitch is unmatched and Australia couldn't be prouder 💚💛💚
Last night vandals damaged vital rail equipment, bringing our network to a stop.
A big thank you to the skilled engineers who worked quickly to fix the damage and get the trains back up and running.
A massive campaign cut short, but we couldn't be prouder. Well done Tillies and thank you for everything you've done 💚💛💚

🚧 As part of the Rail Repair Plan, over 500 workers fixed 12 high-priority defects across 30 kilometres of track in one weekend.
Crews also completed 7.5km of track grinding to extend the life of the rails and make train rides smoother.
570 high priority defects removed in a month, 1,346 to go.
While disruption is painful, we're getting on with the job of fixing our railway to ensure the network is safe and reliable for years to come.
This weekend, our accelerated Rail Repair Plan will see essential trackwork carried out on the South Coast and T4 Illawarra lines.

Our urgent Rail Repair Plan will cost around $97 million — money that was previously set aside for maintenance but not spent by the previous government.
