Sydney Transport Rumours: So, there’s speculation that the Sydney Metro Southwest will open Sun 18 or maybe 25 October. Western Sydney International Airport opens for passengers 25 October, a fact. The latter will need the pink Metro replacement buses because their metro won’t be open yet. 1/2

If you are wondering why the rear carriages of Sydney trains are closed ATM, it's because idiotic video shorts popularised people breaking into the unmanned drivers cab - and apparently closing the whole carriage even in rush hours is the only way to deal with this 🙄 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Why passengers are being barred from rear carriages on these Sydney trains

After multiple security breaches, the back carriage has been closed off on many Tangara trains.
