Network Rules and Procedures

Sydney Metro is an accredited rail infrastructure manager (RIM) under the Rail Safety National Law (RSNL) for the purpose of carrying out railway operations. Such rail operations include constructing, managing, commissioning, maintaining, repairing, modifying, installing, operating, and decommissioning:

  • Railway tracks and associated railway track structures.
  • Railway signalling and communications systems; and
  • Other rail infrastructure necessary to enable safe rail operations.

The Network Rules and Procedures are applicable to all persons accessing, visiting, and working in the Sydney Metro rail corridor, including all Sydney Metro employees, delivery partners, their contractors and third-party stakeholders. Strict adherence to these procedures is fundamental to systematically controlling health and safety risks and preventing asset damage, injuries, and fatalities to personnel, including members of the public.
