New Intercity Fleet Maintenance Facility
Project overview
The NSW Government is delivering a New Intercity Fleet to replace the trains carrying customers from Sydney to the Central Coast, Newcastle, the Blue Mountains and the South Coast.
To service and maintain the new fleet, a purpose-built train maintenance facility has been built at Kangy Angy on the NSW Central Coast.
The detailed design and construction of the new facility was delivered by John Holland on behalf of Transport for NSW.
Project status
Major construction of the new maintenance facility at Kangy Angy, which will service and maintain the New Intercity Fleet, is now complete.
The facility includes offices, amenities, staff parking and ancillary buildings as well as flood free access for local residents via a new bridge that connects Enterprise Drive to Orchard Road.
In October 2020, the first New Intercity Fleet train travelled from Sydney to the new maintenance facility site.

Maintenance facility operations
The maintenance facility is operated by UGL Rail, part of the RailConnect consortium which is responsible for maintaining the new trains. John Holland, the contractor responsible for the design and construction of the maintenance facility on behalf of Transport for NSW, have now completed their work and no longer manage the day-to-day operations of the site.
Minor work will continue over the coming months, including construction of a drivers amenities building near the train wash building.
This work will take place during standard construction hours. In the event that work cannot be carried out during standard construction hours, residents will be notified in advance.
Start of operations
Before the site is fully operational, finishing work in some areas, such as the wheel lathe and train wash buildings, is required. Like many projects, we are reliant on key equipment and specialist workers from interstate and overseas, and as a result have experienced delays due to COVID-19 restrictions.
We will keep the local community informed as the site moves towards operating 24 hours a day towards the end of this year.
Emergency flood evacuation
UGL will now manage emergency flood access if required during a heavy rain event. Residents can call the UGL site security personnel on 0428 165 203 if a site escort is required.
