context_page_description: Sydney, the largest city in Australia, has an extensive network of passenger and freight railways. The passenger system includes an extensive suburban railway network, operated by Sydney Trains, a metro network and a light rail network. A dedicated freight network also exists. Future expansion of the light rail network includes the newly opened CBD and South East Light Rail, and the planned Parramatta Light Rail.
  Central station is the major terminus for Sydney Trains suburban services, while Sydney Terminal serves NSW TrainLink regional and intercity services and the Dulwich Hill Line. Great Southern Rail's Indian Pacific train service to Perth also departs from here.
  Sydney's suburban rail network is the busiest in Australia, with over 359 million journeys made in the 2017-18 financial year.
context_section_description: The following lines are under construction:
  Parramatta Light Rail between Westmead station and Sydney Olympic Park scheduled to open in stages from 2023
  Sydney Metro City & Southwest, the second stage of Sydney Metro network, between Chatswood and Bansktown scheduled to open in 2024.
  The following lines have been proposed:
  Sydney Metro West, between the Sydney CBD and Westmead via Inner West Suburbs
