The Sydney Metro City line is finally open. Here's what you need to know

It's the transport project that's expected to reshape the future of how Sydneysiders move about their city. And riding the new Sydney Metro City line from Sydenham to Chatswood definitely feels a bit like something from a science fiction movie. The new metro is a 15.5km underground line connecting Sydenham in Sydney's inner west to Chatswood in its north, snaking its way beneath the CBD and diving under Sydney Harbour along the way. While the heavy rail journey from North Sydney to its first CBD stop at Wynyard takes about six minutes, the new metro will take just three minutes to travel from Victoria Cross to Barangaroo. Retro-fitting a new metro line beneath a built-up city like Sydney was particularly challenging — for example machines working on Gadigal station near Town Hall had to weave their way through underground utilities and were working just metres above the Cross City Tunnel.
