Bankstown

That's good.

Commuters from Sydenham to Bankstown will benefit from additional capacity compared with the former heavy rail corridor the Metro replaces.

The final piece of the 66km track will see the new line link up with the existing one that connects the CBD to Sydney's north-west.

But it won't be a smooth ride for all passengers, though, because a number of carriage doors will remain closed at some stations because the gap between the train and the platform is too wide.

Do you want to check out Vito's, mate? Yeah, of course, man.

What we saw this week and, you know, fractured and dislocated ankles and Achilles and all of that.

I tell you, you had your own woes last year, didn't you? I remember you were playing, because you were still playing NBL 1, giving back to the junior club there at Bankstown, and then you had a bit of hamstring issues, but you ended up in hospital.

Mate, I tore my hammy off the bone.

Went through 15 years, never tore anything really and then all of a sudden one year out and I tear my hammy off the bone and end up in the hospital room having surgery.

George is an Uber driver who drove a passenger about 40 minutes just to be there and says there was a massive turnout even an hour before the train left the station.

I dropped someone off at... at Bankstown train station and it was absolutely chockers.

I reckon there would have been a thousand people there.
