Reviewed

Modifications and upgrades were needed to existing rail infrastructure at various locations across the electrified network to accommodate the Mariyung Fleet. Work included:

Key benefits

  • Platform extensions
  • Modifications to infrastructure within the rail corridor, including the installation and relocation of signalling and overhead wiring  structures
  • Trackwork
  • Installation of balises, car markers, and trackside car markers
  • Installation of CCTV, PA, lighting and station furniture, where required.

     

The Mariyung Fleet features new and better on-board technology to improve safety and better protect our customers and staff, including:  fire detection technology, the use of fire-resistant materials, internal emergency door release, fault diagnosis technology and automatic selective door operation – which makes sure only the doors on the platform
open.

The Mariyung also offers the highest level of accessibility across the Sydney Trains fleet.
