SydneyLink is a proposed series of major transport projects, including a North West Metro, an M4 Extension, the South West Rail Link and possible future metro to the West and the South East of Sydney, Australia. Metro Link is a key part of SydneyLink to improve Sydney's public transport with a number of metro rail lines, the first of which is the North West Metro.[1]
