Six platform screen doors to remain closed at stations when south-west section opens

Sydney Metro has been forced to assure safety regulators it will keep six train and platform screen doors closed at stations along the final section of the city’s $30 billion M1 metro line when it finally opens to passengers.

While the six screen doors represent a small fraction of those along the south-west section between Bankstown and Sydenham, the measure signals the added complexity and challenges of gaining final approval from the national rail regulator for passenger services.
