KEEPING SYDNEY MOVING

MTS is the operator and maintainer of the M1 Northwest and Bankstown Line, Australia’s only fully accessible, driverless train service. We have a central role in helping to change the way people around Sydney, now and into the future.

In September 2014, the Northwest Rapid Transit consortium, of which MTS is the Operations and Maintenance contractor, was awarded the Operations, Trains and Systems Public Private Partnership contract for the Metro North West Line.

In 2019, the NSW Government, through Sydney Metro Authority, extended the PPP contract to include the operation and maintenance of the combined Metro North West Line and Sydney Metro City & Southwest.

On 19 August 2024 the City expansion opened providing direct, fast and reliable metro services into the heart of Sydney’s CBD introducing six new stations - Crows Nest, Victoria Cross, Barangaroo, Martin Place, Gadigal and Waterloo and new platforms at Sydenham and Central station–connecting people from Tallawong to Chatswood and Sydenham in less than an hour.

With global expertise and an award-winning team, we manage 51.5km of track and 21 stations followed by a further expansion into southwest Sydney in 2025.

 

MTS is a joint venture of MTR Corporation, John Holland and UGL Rail.

Setting the standard in sustainable transport

Our rail network plays a pivotal role in enhancing social sustainability, by keeping communities connected, creating jobs, and making it easier for people to live and work in Sydney. MTS is also actively committed to minimising our impact on the environment, by reducing carbon emissions and managing natural resources effectively.

Some of the ways we achieve this include harnessing Sydney’s abundant sunlight through solar panels on stations and at the Sydney Metro Trains Facility to supplement electricity demand and recovering up to 27% of energy required for train traction through regenerative braking. Our trains are washed with recycled water, and we recycle 80% of the water used in the process.

Plus, in an Australian first, we offset 100% of operational energy through a new-build renewable energy project.
