The Ibises, Sensitive Alarms, and a Four Week Wait: The Tricky Last Stage of a Sydney Metro Line The latest reports from the Sydney metro project indicate that commuters will have to wait at least four weeks longer than expected for the completion of the final stretch between Sydenham and Bankstown.
This delay is not surprising, given the complexities of the project and the repeated setbacks over the past two years. One issue plaguing the project is the intrusion detection system along the rail corridor.
Designed to alert authorities to wildlife intrusions, including those by ibis birds, this system has been working well, providing timely alerts.
