Tens of thousands of commuters are expected to ride on the Sydney Metro's city section on Monday morning as the first new train line running underneath the city centre in more than four decades opens to the public.

The first metro train service on the new section left Sydenham at 4:54am, travelling the newly opened stretch of the extension under Sydney harbour to reach Chatswood station by 5:16am, where it continued on to Tallawong on the original north-west line that opened in 2019.
