The ARA has the pleasure of visiting new member Metro Trains Sydney’s (MTS) Tallawong depot, their maintenance facility and Operations Control Centre this week.

This fantastic new ‘turn-up-and-go’ operation will deliver more than 2,000 fully accessible weekly services to Sydney commuters. MTS’s brand-new Alstom trains mean services will be safe, seamless and reliable.

MTS is the operator and maintainer of the Metro North West Line, Australia’s only fully accessible, driverless train service.

It currently manages 36km of track and 13 stations with an additional seven stations to open in the city in 2024, followed by an expanded network in the southwest in 2025.

MTS is a joint venture of MTR Corporation, Australia’s John Holland group and UGL Rail.
