The Metro Tunnel is on track to open later in 2025, a year ahead of schedule.
Construction of 3 of the 5 Metro Tunnel stations is complete, with the remaining 2 stations to be completed in coming months.
Trial operations are underway which includes trialling the many processes and procedures needed to run the new rail line. It also includes testing timetabled services with drivers and station staff in a dress rehearsal to ensure everything is ready to open to passengers.
An opening date will be announced once station construction is finished, along with all the necessary testing, training and preparation required to safely run this new part of the rail network.
