What this site is
metrosydney.org is an independent guide to Sydney’s suburban trains (Sydney Trains, lines T1–T9) and the Sydney Metro M1. It is not a website of Transport for NSW, Sydney Trains or Metro Trains Sydney, and we are not affiliated with them: we do not sell tickets or Opal cards and cannot handle a complaint or a refund.
Despite the domain name, most of the network covered here is Sydney Trains, not Sydney Metro. The site is funded by advertising.
What the October 2026 review found
On October 11, 2026 we checked the whole site against Transport for NSW and corrected it.
Names. We called the whole train network “Sydney Metro”. Only the M1 is Sydney Metro, run by Metro Trains Sydney; T1–T9 are Sydney Trains. Titles, headings and image descriptions now say so.
Lines. Every line page listed the same interchanges, including stations the line never reaches, and several branch lines were described as running into the city. Each line now lists its own interchanges and route.
Fares. We had an invented child fare, the wrong free-travel age (it is under 4) and an Opal card price, when the card is free. The reduced cap applies Friday to Sunday and on public holidays.
Accessibility. Every station was marked step-free. Five are not, and now say so.
Filler. 164 station pages carried the same “nearby places” block with made-up walking times. We removed it rather than invent replacements.
What is live and what is not
Nothing on this site is live. The status board only shows whether each line is inside its usual operating hours; for real-time running and trackwork, use Transport for NSW.
Where each fact comes from
Lines, stations, fares and Opal rules: transportnsw.info, checked in October 2026.
History and background: Wikipedia articles on each line and station.
When we get it wrong
We fix it and say what was fixed — this page is the example. If something does not add up, write to [email protected].
Who is behind this site
This site is run by the team at GoRandom, a small group based in the Basque Country in Spain who do two things that go together better than they sound: travel, and build websites.
Sydney is not yet one of the cities we have set foot in — we are up to twenty and we move slowly. We would rather say so than pretend otherwise: what you read here does not come from our memories, it comes from what the operator publishes and from checking work we can show you.
The other half of what we know how to do is web development, and this site is the excuse to put the two together. We do not leave it sitting there: every fare and every timetable carries its source and the date we checked it, and they get revised when the operator changes something. The last full review was on October 11, 2026, when we checked every line, station and fare against Transport for NSW.
He decides what goes up, checks the data before it does, and answers the email. If you find a fare that has expired or a timetable that no longer holds, there is a specific person to write to.
