Sydney Rail Maps

+ +

Git repository: Link

+ +
21/9/2021
+ + +
Overview
+ +

Over the years there have been more than a few railway network maps created for Sydney, +Australia. All sorts of official, +unofficial, hypothetical, geographical, and historical ones can be found via a +websearch with your favourite search engine. This is my contribution to that +pile of pictures.

+ +
+ + Hypothetical Sydney rail map + +
A hypothetical Sydney heavy rail map
+
+ +

The above map represents a lot of proposals actually implemented and opportunities taken instead +of missed. The file is a 3000x2800 SVG so zoom can be increased several times over without loss of +detail, or you can click to open the map by itself. Since emphasis is on a "what if" for heavy rail +lines, no grid, index, light rail, or other transport services have been included.

+ + +
Line Differences and Notes
+ +

There are 12 lines depicted, including 6 suburban double deck, 5 metro single deck, and 1 +suspension monorail. For the most part the colour of preexisting lines has been made consistent with +recent official maps.

+ +

Suburban lines:

+ + + +

Metro lines:

+ + + +

Monorail lines:

+ +

Despite everything else this may be the most controversial idea here. In the past Sydney had a +very poorly designed, low capacity monorail loop +between the CBD and Pyrmont. What is proposed here is much closer to monorail systems found in +countries like Japan and China where monorails are constructed to provide services like a heavy +rail line. The technology would be a modified SAFEGE system to allow for 6 car trains and 80km/h +service speed.

+ + + + +
Unmapped Features
+ +

The Southern / Inner West, Airport / East Hills, and Cumberland lines all overlap track, as do +the Northern and Strathfield lines. All other lines use their own dedicated track pairs exclusively. +This means the hypothetical network is made up of 9 independent sectors overall.

+ +

Despite the above, there is some overlap with intercity services. Southern Highlands services +would operate via Glenfield, Wolli Creek, and Sydenham, which makes up for the lack of express East +Hills services from Campbelltown. Central Coast services would still operate via Hornsby, Epping, +Strathfield. In both cases minor interference between sectors is possible.

+ +

Other modes of transport have been intentionally left out. This includes an extensive +hypothetical light rail network covering the eastern suburbs, as well as the CBD, parts of the inner +west, and a few lines around Parramatta. There is also potential for important bus rapid transit +services between the North Shore and Northern Beaches, as well as one around Liverpool.

+ +

Finally, there are three options for extending public transport to the second Sydney airport at +Badgerys Creek. The Airport / East Hills line could be extended, the Carlingford monorail could be +extended, or a new branch of the Western line could be constructed from St Marys as in current +official maps. In the long term all three options may be ideal. The current proposal of the solitary +St Marys branch may have the unacceptable downside of overcrowding on the Western line.

+ + +
Closing Remarks
+ +

It is interesting how increased connectivity in a transit network leaves less and less room for +the distortions necessary for the clean schematic lines expected of such maps.

+ +

At some point I would like to go back and make a map that includes some of the mentioned unmapped +features. Although at that point it may be more practical to use computational routing methods.
