Sydney's oldest railway, operational since 1895, closes for a year to transition into Sydney Metro.

Sydney's oldest suburban railway, operational since 1895, will close for a year to transition into the Sydney Metro, Australia's largest public transport initiative. This conversion aims to improve services but will cause disruptions for commuters. Shuttle trains from Bankstown to Lidcombe will operate, and free replacement buses are in place. The process could extend beyond the planned 12 months due to the line's age and complexity. The project includes four lines and 113 km of new rail.
