context_page_description: Sydney Metro Northwest is a rapid transit link to the north-western suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The link is being managed by Transport for NSW through its Sydney Metro agency, and connects the suburbs of Rouse Hill and Chatswood via Castle Hill and Epping.
  The link, which includes the Epping to Chatswood Rail Link, opened to service on 26 May 2019, with Metro North West Line services running on the link between Tallawong and Chatswood.
  Prior to June 2015, the project was known as the North West Rail Link. Originally, "North West Rail Link" referred to the section between Epping and Rouse Hill. By June 2015, the name had been extended to cover the route of the original NWRL and the existing Epping to Chatswood railway line between Epping and Chatswood, which has been converted to rapid transit standard. In June 2015, it was announced that the entire project would be renamed the Sydney Metro Northwest, the first stage of the forthcoming Sydney Metro system.
