Sydney Metro stations designs finalised

This post was originally published on this site

The designs for each Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport station have now been finalised.

Each station will complement the qualities of the Cumberland Plain landscape and aim to establish a sense of connection.

First Nations design professionals Djinjama, with lead architect Hassell, were engaged to lead the design process, and collaborated and engaged with key Knowledge Holders of Country throughout.

The final designs feature colours, textures and materials derived from Country and these will be experienced by passengers throughout stations, including communal areas like plazas, walkways and buildings.

Feedback from stakeholders and community members was incorporated into the final station designs after initial plans were exhibited during a consultation period.

Sydney Metro is a jointly funded public transport project by the Federal and New South Wales governments.

The project’s scope involves building, operating and maintaining a network of four metro lines, 46 stations and 113 kilometres of new metro rail, targeting to open in 2032.

 The project will connect Sydney’s northwest, west, southwest and greater west with new metro services with fully accessible stations.

The metro program includes the operational M1 Line and three projects under construction; the Southwest, West and Western Sydney Airport projects.

Once completed, Sydney’s new metro railway will have a target capacity of about 40,000 customers per hour, compared to Sydney’s current suburban system which can reliably carry 24,000 people an hour per line.

The first tracks have been laid at Luddenham for the Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport line as the 23-kilometre new metro railway takes shape.

The first portion of track was installed at Luddenham, just north of a new rail bridge that will take metro services over the future M12 motorway.
