@sbsnews_au: It was an early start for thousands of passengers eager to board the first metro trip from Bankstown. The Southwest Metro link has ten stations, some of which have been closed since construction began two years ago. It’s the third instalment of the Sydney Metro Network, with another line connecting the newly opened Western Sydney airport set for next year and another connecting Parramatta to the CBD in 2032.

The guy in the blue shirt is a delight. I’ve ridden the regular Sydney metro with him before. He sat in the front car and called out the stops as if he worked for Transport NSW. It was very sweet to see that joy. 🥹
