All 45 Metro trains tested in new tunnels under the Sydney CBD

Metro services through the Sydney CBD are in sight, following a major testing milestone ahead of services starting on the Sydney Metro City & Southwest line later this year.
All 45 metro trains in the current fleet have now completed at least one return journey between Tallawong and Sydenham at operational speed.
Preparations are now underway for the next major phase of testing - trial running, which is expected to begin in the coming months.
Trial running is the last stage of testing before the launch of the new metro line, where network operator Metro Trains Sydney will run a series of timetable running and operational tests.

'Metro services through the Sydney CBD are in sight' - yes this is the most ex-sighting video I've watched in the last 30 seconds

I do not why but today in the metro the map was very different and the metro behaviour in a good way it was like the one at 1:35

I miss the door chimes already! Exactly the same as Hong Kong.

and the Maiyong/Emu fleet still sit in sidings deteriorating with out having any revenue service after how many years.

[@nothingly]

I believe since 2018. The trains aren't deteriorating though and they are being tested still.

You can thank the unions for having them sit in sidings for all this time.

For the Tallawong to Chatswood service, will Sydney Metro upgrade the new announcement, because of the CBD Line?

[@prismaticmarcus]

it's all going to be one line, if that answers your question

[@ec7152]

The new announcements are already up and running on some trains between tallawong and Chatswood

[@userreview2806]

@@ec7152 Good news! I hated the robot voice

[@mariachrzski18]

I liked the old announcements on the metro better

[@maccomplex]

Hope they upgrade the text to speech announcements on the platforms. How could they not bother to get those done by a human I will never know.

[@mariachrzski18]

Yeah I agree those sound terrible. I do like the current metro voice being replaced now, different to the trains. I like that she sounds a bit more informal.

@@mariachrzski18yes it is a lot more informative also trains are always all stops some would have been express in 2019 from Chatswood to tallawong but that never happened

They should've use 62 4 car trains with same max crush loads as Kajang and Putrajaya MRT lines in KL...
