Canterbury Station is the first Southwest metro station to have a full set of platform screen doors installed. The state-of-the-art doors now form a 180-metre-long barrier along the edge of the station’s two platforms.
Platform screen doors each take about six hours to prepare and install, and are a key feature of Sydney Metro stations, keeping passengers and objects safely away from the tracks and allowing trains to get in and out of the station faster.
A total of 160 out of 360 platform screen doors have been installed across the 10 southwest stations being upgraded on the 130-year-old T3 line between Sydenham and Bankstown.
Sydney Metro is the first Australian railway to use platform screen doors – you would have seen them on the M1 Metro Northwest & Bankstown Line keeping passengers safe!
