Sydney Metro Northwest is a current project by the Government of New South Wales for a rapid transit link to the north-western suburbs of Sydney, Australia. It is being managed by Transport for New South Wales and is proposed to connect Rouse Hill to Chatswood via Castle Hill and Epping. Prior to June 2015, the name of the project was North West Rail Link (NWRL). Originally, North West Rail Link was meant to cover the section between Epping and Rouse Hill. By June 2015, the "North West Rail Link" covered the route of the original NWRL and the Epping to Chatswood railway line between Epping and Chatswood, which will be converted to rapid transit standards. In June 2015, it was announced that entire project will be renamed the Sydney Metro Northwest, the first stage of the forthcoming Sydney Metro system. ==History of the original North West Rail Link== Planning for the original North West Rail Link was a long and complex affair. The line was announced, cancelled and re-announced several times. There were differing plans as to how the line would integrate into the rest of Sydney's transport system. The following proposals were endorsed at one time or another by the government: * Main line rail connecting to the Main Northern line near Beecroft, with trains accessing the city via either Rhodes (using the Main Northern line) or Macquarie Park (using the Epping to Chatswood line). * Main line rail connecting directly to the Epping to Chatswood line at Epping, with trains accessing the city via Macquarie Park. * Rapid transit line from the north west to the city via the Inner West, dubbed the North West Metro. * Rapid transit line connecting to a modified Epping to Chatswood line at Epping. Trains terminate at Chatswood, with an extension to the city proposed for the future. This was the design which was ultimately selected. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sydney Metro Northwest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
