This Act amended the earlier scheme proposed by Bradfield in 1916, which had provided for the previous construction work. The City and Suburban Electric Railways (Amendment) Act of 1947 made provision for the construction of 44 miles (71 km) of new suburban electric railways. New construction was carried out including the construction of four underground platforms beside Central Station at

The physical works involved the extension eastwards of the existing tunnels at Bondi Junction with the construction of a new 2.6-kilometre (1.6 mi) single-track tunnel to the proposed Bondi Beach station site under South Bondi Park.

To reduce costs and more effectively stage the project, the line was curtailed to Bondi

Work progressed slowly and at significant expense. Industrial action spurred by ethnic tensions delayed the works, as did an injunction taken out by residents of the exclusive suburb of
Woollahra to prevent round-the-clock tunnelling works, spawning a chain of legal action that culminated in the
