MILESTONE: The Airport Line turns 20 (2000) - Additional material

Last week, I focused on the opening of the Airport Line in 2000. This week, I will share additional media clippings that were not featured.

Below is another newspaper advertisement.

The Sydney Morning Herald published a special feature article on May 18 2000. I have enlarged the visual diagram.

For those living along the route, it meant one thing - higher home values.

One teething problem identified prior to its opening was that ticket machines across the network had not been updated to feature the new stations.

As a bonus, ever wondered why the stations along the line were designed the way they are?
