The railways are run by CityRail, an agency of the government of New South Wales.
Because the original underground lines were built in conjunction with the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, a decision was made to have the lines in shallow tunnels so as to minimise the height difference between the underground rails and their extension across the bridge.
The third underground line is the Airport Line, which opened in the year 2000, prior to the Sydney Olympics.
