Cancellation
A new premier of NSW, Kristina Keneally, halted the compulsory property acquisitions at Rozelle during January 2010. This prompted speculation that the CBD Metro would be cancelled. On Saturday, 20 February, a special weekend cabinet meeting was convened to sort out the issue. The following day, Keneally formally announced the cancellation of the metro program – including the CBD Metro.

The City Relief line links into CityRail's Western line, instead of forming the basis of a new system.
