SBS’s “Sydney’s Super Tunnel” returns this Thursday, taking viewers on a subterranean journey through Australia’s largest public transport project. With 30 kilometers of tunneling now complete, the focus shifts to the next phase: constructing stations and laying tracks. “Testing Times,” airing at 8:30 PM on April 17th, offers a look at the intricate engineering feats required to bring this ambitious project to life.
This episode focuses on the trials and tribulations of testing driverless trains within the newly constructed tunnels. As the city prepares for a transport revolution, engineers work to ensure the automated system operates flawlessly. The episode also features the unveiling of Central Walks, the pedestrian subway at Central Station, a key element in improving connectivity across the city.
“Sydney’s Super Tunnel” continues to document the five-year saga of building a state-of-the-art metro system beneath Sydney. It’s a story of innovation, engineering prowess, and the challenges of transforming a city’s infrastructure.
