Sydney Metro Metropolis Stock

The Sydney Metro Metropolis Stock is a class of electric multiple units that operate on the Sydney Metro network. Built by Alstom as part of their Metropolis family, the trains are the first fully automated passenger rolling stock in Australia as well as the first single-deck sets to operate in Sydney since their withdrawal from the suburban rail network in the 1990s. A total of 176 carriages, making up 22 6-car sets, entered service in 2019 with the opening of the Metro North West Line. 23 more sets are gradually being rolled out for the City & Southwest extension, to commence service in 2024, expanding the Metropolis fleet to 45 sets.
