Commuters will soon be travelling for the first time on driverless trains under Sydney Harbour after a regulator signed off on the delayed opening of the new line. The state Labor government was red-faced when it had to push back the targeted August 4 opening date for the $21 billion addition to Sydney’s Metro network, Australia’s largest public transport project.
“A commencement date is a matter for the NSW government,” the regulator said. Haylen in July said multiple factors had contributed to the delay. “One of those of course is the incident that occurred on the northwest, as well as industrial action,” she said. Problems on the existing northwest section of the Sydney line, beginning at Tallawong, had left passengers stuck for hours.
