The Eastern Suburbs Railway...A reality 1979 Sydney Trains

The Eastern Suburbs Railway or ESR cost 168 million dollars and ushered in a new era of public transport for the people of the eastern suburbs of Sydney. The underground railway starts at Redfern and goes through Central, Town Hall, Martin Place, Kings Cross, Edgecliff and Bondi Junction Station and is now operated by Sydney Trains.

The new state of the art system uses "space age" signaling and workshops and deployed the first automated ticketing system in Australia.
