‘We’ve got a plan’: Metro Tunnel on track to open on time

The Metro Tunnel is on track to open at the end of the year, despite rumours trains would be skipping two stations in order for the tunnel to open in time.

Metro Tunnel Project executive project director Ben Ryan told Jacqui Felgate, two of the stations were always intended to finish later.

“State Library and Town Hall were always planned to take a bit longer, because they’re a bit more complex to build, being in the middle of the city,” he said.

Mr Ryan also confirmed the project had no alternative plans in case of delays.

“As I said, we’ve got a plan that gets us to an opening later this year,” he added.
