Metropolis Set 28 returns to passenger service

For the train buffs, Sydney Metro's Metropolis Set 28 has returned to passenger service after its long stint as test train on the Sydenham to Bankstown section. Set 28 was the first train into the CBD section and under the harbour in 2023 and first metro train to Bankstown in 2025.

​

Today, Set 28 did a Tallawong - Sydenham - Tallawong trip in the AM Peak on Run 122 where it was replaced by Set 9 from Run 107 during the AM wind down period and returned to Rouse Hill Train Facility for a day nap.

​

In the PM Peak, it worked Run 136 and did another Tallawong - Sydenham - Tallawong trip before stabling for the evening.

No Sydney Metro timetable or real time positions in Real Time apps today, 17th June 2026.

No Metro timetable or real time feed is available for Metro today, 17th June 2026.

​

Second time this month this has happened, most likely due to the special timetables issued for Vivid for the past few weeks and an incorrect "standard" timetable has been published into GTFS today.

Bought a Single Trip Ticket today at Wynyard (Astreo machine A-022) for memento purposes. Was issued with ticket with nothing printed on it. 😐

It appears to have been encoded properly as the gates accepted it, but would it run fowl of Transport Officers if inspection visually? 🤔

Also discovered that you can reverse tap on a single trip ticket.
