The final proposal revealed had the CBD Metro running from Rozelle to Central station, connecting with the proposed West Metro at Central station. The new metro stations would have provided connections with existing CityRail network at Wynyard, Martin Place, Town Hall, and Central stations.
The proposed route would have included 6 new metro stations:
- Rozelle- This station was to be located near Darling Street at Victoria Road, and was controversial within the local community.
- Pyrmont- This station was to be located in the Union Square area with a number of heritage buildings to be demolished.
- Barangaroo-Wynyard- This station was proposed to serve the Barangaroo development area with connections to the Wynyard Cityrail station.
- Martin Place

Famous quotes containing the words proposed and/or route:
“It is not always possible to predict the response of a doting Jewish mother. Witness the occasion on which the late piano virtuoso Oscar Levant telephoned his mother with some important news. He had proposed to his beloved and been accepted. Replied Mother Levant: “Good, Oscar, I’m happy to hear it. But did you practice today?””
—Liz Smith (20th century)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
