About Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport

A new metro railway line will become the transport spine for Greater Western Sydney, connecting communities and travellers with the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport and the growing region. The project was approved by the NSW Government in July 2021, with major construction set to start later in the year.

This city-shaping project will become the transport spine for the growing region, connecting communities with the new airport, jobs and services and delivering better access to employment opportunities, health and education facilities and leisure activities across Greater Sydney.

The Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport project will deliver about 23 kilometres of rail between St Marys metro station and the future Western Sydney Aerotropolis in Bringelly (the area known as Bradfield).

Six stations will be built along the alignment including two stations at Western Sydney International airport, one at the Western Sydney Aerotropolis and one at St Marys – here customers will be able to connect to the existing Sydney Trains suburban T1 Western Line. Stations at Orchard Hills and Luddenham will service a future mixed-use precinct and an education and innovation precinct.
