Cheers

It will be incredible

👍

Awesome, makes sense with the technology of the day

As per the map on WSI website there is indicated ATC building to the west of the rail terminal.

@@philipg6463 safeguarded I presume...just in case the remote system doesn't work as well as hoped. It happens sometimes

I think that is probably an outdated map.@@philipg6463

Me personally, would rather someone with eyes also on the airfield. Cant always trust technology and a safe guard with eyes on operations should be a must!

and build the M9. northern road around Narellan down to Ctown will be a carpark with all the trucks , peak now can turn this travel area from 8 min drive to 45 mins in peak.. its only going to get worse once airport is in. need that M9 asap.

Thanks Paul

Cheers

Thanks

There is a provision at the east end of St Mary’s station box to continue the tunnel to the north west line

Nice sounds like a good idea with today’s technology

what ?

So many times as a commuter being stuck on the platform because trains are either delayed or cancelled due to a freight train breakdown west of St Mary`s station. @@user-tm4bi1nl4q

Unfortunately observationdecks are fast becoming a thing of the past.. I'd love to be able to go up to an observation deck to plane spot. But it seems that realestate view to precious and in many cases have been converted into lounges for those that can afford it.

Observation decks cant exist in many countries due to regulations after 9/11

Would you rather build the airport in the ocean sir ?

Plenty of room in the rest of Australia for paddocks... probably %80.

Newcastle and Wollongong.

It is planned in 2031 to duplicate the whole thing on the other side of the metro line with second runway. It has plenty of room for expansion after that. it will take the load of Kingsford smith as it has no room for expansion. It will also run 24/7 which will be convenient. There is really no other option for Sydney but to build a second airport out west

10-12 million passengers per annum with scope to expand to 15 with a small western expansion I understand. It is a regional airport for western Sydney. Not NSW or Sydney Proper, a population of just over 2.5 million. Its the right size and expandable I bet. Masterplan shows up to 80ish million annual passenger capacity in like 20never

There won't be a station access fee, but the airport station will probably be just over 65km from the CBD by track distance, which will make the fare to the city $9.84 in peak hours or $6.88 off-peak (with current fares, which will likely be raised by the time the line opens).

No reason it should be any more expensive than now for a similar length journey (say Central to Penrith). It's also WESTERN Sydney Airport, so much of its passenger catchment will be from Western Sydney (which is already more populous, has more industry, and is growing faster than the rest of Sydney). It will be a lot more convenient if you live in Oran Park, or Camden, or Wetherill Park, or Parramatta, or Penrith, Blue Mountains, or the north western suburbs. If you live in the CBD, Northern suburbs or eastern Suburbs, it would make more sense to use the existing old Sydney airport. Some people may go to WSI from Harbourside Sydney, probably because it's modern design favours low cost flights better than Sydney Airport - if its significantly cheaper, people will be prepared to travel further to and from it.

I believe the metro station is located outside the complex because the airport will be duplicated in 2031 the next terminal will be on the other side of the metro station the whole thing will be mirrored

Looking at the pathways connecting Train station to airport building looking like there wont be a travellator and just a roof and open sides , That part of Sydney can get some very nasty weather ,so with luggage it can be very concerning I think. @@BigJayDogAdventures

Amazing as it seems no plans for continuing southwest rail line from Leppington at present! All they need is a few more stations to the airport.

First connection will be the Metro from St Marys. The second will be an extension of the West Metro from Westmead (space already left at the site to do that). These will probably link to Glenfield, and through Oran Park and Narellan to Macartthur. Some people favour a connection using old fashioned trains extended from Leppington. I think it would be a backward step to keep building a 1920s rail system. Both metro stations on those lines would be centred between the eventual 3 to 5 terminal buildings, surrounding them on three sides.

Two runways. 05L/23R and 05R/23L - similar to London Heathrow's current layout (except they are aligned 09L/27R and 09R/27L. The second won't be needed for a few decades, especially since the high speed taxiways off the runway allows faster operations than at most existing airports.

So what did you expect from a functional Western Sydney air terminal? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The hanging gardens of Sydney One Central Park, Herds of hopping kangaroos majestically conveying people from the metros stations to the terminals? Feathered veterans of the Emu War conducting security checks?

They probably have people who know what they are doing running it.
