Station Locations confirmed for Western Sydney's New Metro

The exact station locations for the new Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport project have been confirmed.

The 23 kilometre driverless railway line will service St Marys, Orchard Hills, Luddenham, the Western Sydney Aerotropolis and two stations at the Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) airport.

The tender process has also started to deliver 10 kilometres of twin metro railway tunnels, with the call for registrations of interest. Construction starts later this year on the project, which will support 14,000 jobs - including 250 apprentices - and inject billions of dollars to the NSW and Australian economies. The new railway will link residential areas with jobs hubs and connect travellers from the new airport with the rest of Sydney’s public transport network.

The World Tunnel Congress 2020 has now moved to a digital platform!

True to its commitment to innovation while embracing the “new norm”, the World Tunnel Congress 2020 will now be held fully digital, paving the way for tunnelling academicians and industry players alike to be a part of the world’s greatest meeting of tunnellers, regardless of where they are.

Recent circumstances set off by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to many cancellations of major events around the world and drove the need to move the World Tunnel Congress 2020 (WTC2020) into a digital platform as a result of global border control, restrictions on mass gathering and the requirement for physical distancing.
