City Rail Link
The City Rail Link (CRL) is a rail project currently under construction in Auckland, New Zealand. The project consists of a 3.5 km long double-track rail tunnel underneath Auckland's city centre, between Britomart Transport Centre and Mount Eden railway station. Two new underground stations will be constructed to serve the city centre: Te Waihorotiu near Aotea Square and Karanga-a-Hape near Karangahape Road. Britomart will be converted from a terminus station into a through station and Mount Eden station will be completely rebuilt with four platforms to serve as an interchange between the new CRL line and the existing Western Line. The current project is an adapted version of previous proposals to improve rail access to Auckland's city centre with the first proposals dating back to the 1920s. The increase in rail patronage in Auckland during the early 21st century, particularly after the opening of Britomart Transport Centre in 2003, led to renewed interest in the s ...

The centrepiece of the project is a new twin-tunnel rail crossing under Sydney Harbour and through the city to . Together with planned improvements to the Main Western line, the project is expected to increase capacity on the Sydney rail network by up to 60%, and allow for the movement of over 100,000 extra commuters across the network every hour. The project began construction in 2017 and is planned to open by 2024. Tunnelling was completed in March 2020. It is estimated that it will eventually cost up to $16.8 billion due to budget blowouts and station redesigns. Project History In 2013, a proposal was raised to extend the then-proposed North West Rail Link, by building a metro-style tunnel from just s ...

CBD Relief Line
The CBD Relief Line, also known as the Western Express Rail, was a proposed underground railway line through the Sydney central business district. The line was intended to augment the existing city underground network and ease congestion at some of the city's busiest stations. The new line was proposed to link to the Main Suburban railway line, which would have increased that line's capacity. The line included proposed stations or platforms at Redfern (new platforms), Railway Square, City West and Wynyard (new platforms). Earlier proposals In 2005, the Carr Government announced the Metropolitan Rail Expansion Program which consisted of three new lines - the North West Rail Link, South West Rail Link and CBD Rail Link. These three new lines were intended to expand the capacity of the CityRail network and extend it to serve new areas. In 2008, the CBD Rail Link and North West Rail Link were cancelled and replaced by the North West Metro. This was to be an entirely new system ...
