Sydney Metro’s boss learnt from London’s ‘failed experiment’

Peter Regan, the chief executive of Sydney Metro, is a few minutes late as he scurries into Mary’s VX, the newest outpost of a chain that describes itself as a “big bad burger that saved Sydney from itself”.

The burger joint, in the entrance hall to North Sydney’s Victoria Cross Metro station, opened just a few days before August 19, when trains on Sydney’s newest metro line streaked under Sydney Harbour taking paying passengers for the first time to four new underground stations in the city centre.
