Passengers are outraged after the long-awaited $7billion driverless Metro train experienced massive delays just hours after opening.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian appeared at Tallawong in Sydney's north-west on Sunday morning to watch the first ever driverless train take off.
Despite the excitement, commuters have slammed the service online, with many saying there have been a multitude of problems.

Technical glitches surrounded the first services, with reports emerging that the train had driven too far forward, causing it to reverse and realign itself for the doors to open.
All Metro platforms are set up with screen doors, and the train is supposed to automatically line up with the screens to prevent accidents on the tracks.
'Train seems to have over shot the platform doors at Macquarie Park we were delayed an extra 20 seconds until door opened. Cue the outrage,' one user wrote on Twitter.
'Had a train at Tallawong miss the alignment by a small amount. Doors wouldn't open until they reversed the train by probably 0.5m. But it took 3-4 minutes to do so,' one Reddit user said.
'Don't see how they will be able to maintain a train every 4 mins if every couple of trains have to spend 3 mins reversing.'
One person took to Twitter to post a worrying image of a missing screw spotted on the floor on one of the platforms.
'@SydneyMetro Is this screw important?' they asked with a worried emoji.
There were also reports of the doors failing to open at one stop, with some missing their stop because of the glitch

Multiple people reported that services were stuck between stations for periods of up to 15 minutes.
'Metro to Chatswood has been stuck at Macquarie Park for almost 15 minutes now,' one user wrote on Reddit.
