Railways in Sydney

Common card · No. 459226

Sydney, the largest city in Australia, has an extensive network of passenger and goods railways. The first railway line in Sydney opened in 1855, becoming part of the Main Suburban railway line and laying the foundation for future expansion. An extensive suburban railway network is operated by Sydney Trains. A metro system began operation in 2019. Sydney's light rail system opened in 1996; it has reutilised former heavy rail corridors. A dedicated goods network also exists. Central station is the main interchange for Sydney Trains suburban and intercity services, also serving NSW TrainLink’s regional, long distance and interstate trains, Sydney Metro and the light rail network. Journey Beyond's transcontinental Indian Pacific to Perth also departs from Central. Sydney's suburban rail network is the busiest in Australia, with over 359 million journeys made in the 2017–18 financial year.
