Sydney, the largest city in Australia, has an extensive network of passenger and goods railways. The first railway line in Sydney opened in 1855, becoming part of the Main Suburban railway line and laying the foundation for future expansion.
An extensive suburban railway network is operated by Sydney Trains. A metro system began operation in 2019. Sydney's light rail network consists of several lines, the first opening in 1996; it has reutilised former heavy rail corridors. A dedicated goods network also exists.
Central station is the main interchange for Sydney Trains suburban services, also serving intercity and NSW TrainLink regional trains, Sydney Metro and Sydney's light rail network. Journey Beyond's Indian Pacific to Perth also departs from Central.[1]
Sydney's suburban rail network is the busiest in Australia, with over 359 million journeys made in the 2017–18 financial year.[2]
