Wikimedia list article
The Sydney Metro is a rapid transit rail system in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The system is owned by the Government of New South Wales and is operated under contract by Metro Trains Sydney, a joint venture between MTR Corporation, John Holland Group, and UGL Rail. There are currently 21 Sydney Metro stations open and 52 kilometres (32 mi) of track. When current construction is complete, there will be 46 metro stations and 113 kilometres (70 mi) of track.
The first section of the Sydney Metro, the Sydney Metro Northwest project, opened on 26 May 2019 between Tallawong and Chatswood. This consists of thirteen stations, five of which were existing stations along the Epping to Chatswood rail link converted to metro use, and nine of which were new stations. Sydney Metro City & Southwest is planned to open in two stages: the section between Chatswood and Sydenham via the central business district opened on 19 August 2024, and the section between Sydenham and Bankstown, which consists of part of the Bankstown railway line converted to metro use, is planned to open in 2026. The Chatswood to Sydenham section has eight new metro stations and the Sydenham to Bankstown section has eleven new metro stations.
Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport, which will have six new metro stations, is planned to open in 2027 after the opening of the Western Sydney Airport. Sydney Metro West is planned to open in 2032 and will have at least nine new stations, all of which will be underground.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q29915645. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2024, 2026 and 2027.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
