Sydney Metro expects 37,600 commuters to use the extended line between Tallawong and Sydenham from 8am to 9am. That represents a 160 per cent increase on the 14,400 passengers who typically travel on the line from Tallawong to Chatswood during that period at present.
The agency said the ramp up of inter-peak services to a train every five minutes within the first few months of the extended line’s opening reflected expected travel patterns and demand.
