    As someone who lives in Sydney, our traffic situation is absolutely abysmal. So when this is complete it will be a massive relief
  • @SpottoBotto
    Now all we need is high speed rail between Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong (NSW) 🚄
  • @CARambolagen
    ... " in the world" 😂 - the favourite phrase in all the B1M videos 😂
  • @samdekker90
    On holiday in Sydney right now from Perth. The construction of massive motorway tunnels and the density of the infrastructure here makes my home look like a small town!
  • @sajidulahad
    I've been with this channel since it’s birth. Amazing how it has been growing! All the best.
  • @shoopusdawhoopus
    It's neat seeing all those workers hold up their phones to witness the tunnel bore break through, as if The Who was on stage. I'd be proud to be part of historic expansion too.
  • @TOPDadAlpha
    Thank you for explaining how the cutter rubble is dealt with. I often wondered
  • @Thebibs
    Ive been working on the Airport, and Western Metros over the last few years (Civil Engineering). Great project and a lot of fun.

  • @MrGoesBoom
    Love stuff regarding tunnels ( old and new ) with the why and how of building them and the hurdles along the way. Just a damned fascinating topic. Thanks for uploading!
  • @JamieCullen
    I work on this project from the UK and it’s wild to see a video about it!
  • @Wagoo
    I hear Leeds is getting a metro in 2163
  • @Skybar23
    As someone who has lived in Sydney my whole life,I have never seen so much infrastructure project built in the past 7-8 years. The last major project was in 1999 with the m5 airport tunnel. Now we have the M4, M8, West connex,North Connex tunnels and soom m6 tunnel, 2nd Harbour tunnel, New Airport, Barangaroo, new Darling harbour and Fish Market development. This on top of this metro AND light rail project. However all this will only make Sydney even more unafforable

    I attended the community open day at the Victoria Cross station and it is truly a modern marvel of engineering. It features the first lift only station access at its Northern end. This is due to the topography of North Sydney and the station needing to be deep so the metro tunnel can go under the harbour to Barangaroo on the south side of Sydney Harbour and also the narrow corner block this entry is located at. At the southern end of Victoria Cross station it has 3 long escalators to get to the surface. All the stations are impressive on the new Sydney Metro Station but this one is next level.
  • “… in the world.” managed to do your jeremy clarkson impression about 4 times this video 😂
  • I live in Sydney, and it’s great to see that politicians understand how to make a good city, but I think our bike infrastructure is sort of being ignored
