Alstom has signed a contract with Northwest Rapid Transit (NRT) consortium to supply rolling stock and signalling system for the next stage of Sydney Metro, Sydney Metro City and Southwest.
The project is an extension of the Metro-North West Line which successfully opened to customers in May 2019. Under the contract, valued at approximately EUR 350 million, Alstom will be responsible for project management, design, supply, manufacturing, testing and commissioning of 23 six-car fully-automated metropolis trains and the Urbalis 400 Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling system.
The trains will be manufactured in Alstom’s manufacturing centre in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh which successfully delivered 22 Metropolis trains for the Metro-North West Line.
The contract also includes an option to purchase further trains if required. As an extension of the existing Metro-North West Line, the new Trains Systems Operations and Maintenance (TSOM) PPP will provide a fully integrated turn-up and go service along a dedicated 66 km Metro network with a total of 31 stations from Rouse Hill through the City and to Bankstown. Sydney Metro Northwest operator, Metro Trains Sydney, will be responsible for operations and maintenance of the entire line.
The project also includes expansion of the current Sydney Metro Trains Facility at Rouse Hill and the new train facility at Sydenham. Construction of the new line is currently underway with revenue service expected to start in 2024.
