Tram testing extends to Circular Quay

The Sydney light rail marked a historic moment in the CBD with the first tram visiting Circular Quay this morning as part of the tram testing.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian declared recently that the “light at the end of the light rail project is here”.

“To build this project in the heart of the busiest street in the nation hasn’t been without its challenges but I’m really, really positive about the outcome,” she said.

Once complete, the CBD and South East Light Rail 12km route will feature 19 stops, extending from Circular Quay along George Street to Central Station, through Surry Hills to Moore Park, then to Kensington and Kingsford via Anzac Parade and Randwick via Alison Road and High Street.

The new trams will be able to hold up to 450 passengers and have the capacity to move up to 13,500 commuters per hour during peak times.

Sydney’s light rail line is set to be opened in stages with the first trams expected to begin carrying passengers from Randwick to Circular Quay in December 2019.
