Kiama Platform Extension Project
Project overview
The program is designed to simplify and modernise the rail network. Passengers will be able to access more services on a simpler and more reliable network through the delivery of better infrastructure, new trains and extra services.
Project scope
- extending both ends of Platforms 1 and 2 by about eight metres. Relocating platform fences, stairs and gates to the end of the longer platforms
- realigning and installing new overhead wiring and signalling equipment for the new trains
- upgrading lighting, CCTV, the PA system, tactile paving and line marking to improve safety.
Customer benefits
- more services on the South Coast Line. This means a service every 15 minutes in the peak and every 30 minutes in the off peak between Wollongong and the Sydney CBD
- as part of future stages of the program, South Coast customers will benefit from an extra 13,000 seats across the busiest times of the week.
Project status
We completed this project in September 2023.
Other work in this area
We also completed work south of Kiama Station to support the project. Activities included:
- new track infrastructure
- a 20-metre extension of the Kiama Siding, a low-speed section of track where trains turn around and travel back towards the Sydney CBD
- a buffer stop for safety
- civil works such as excavation, and building a retaining wall for the siding extension and a boundary fence
- extending the drivers’ walkway and adding walkway lighting
- extra signalling infrastructure.
