Rail Infrastructure Upgrades project

Project overview

We are delivering new, state-of-the-art intercity and regional trains. 

The new trains will provide new safety features, improved accessibility, facilities and reliability for customers who travel on our intercity and regional networks.

To accommodate the new Mariyung and Regional Rail fleets, we need to upgrade and modify some existing rail infrastructure at various locations across the rail network. 

Upgrades and modifications to some rail infrastructure is needed across NSW, as well as Victoria, Canberra, and Queensland to accommodate the new Regional Rail fleet and facilitate the operation of the modified Mariyung Fleet in line with the agreed operating model changes. 

Work will include:

• modifications within the rail corridor, including platforms, train stopping markers and lighting    
• modifications to stabling yards and provisioning sites, including track extension and realignment, relocation of utility services and installation of decanting and refuelling systems.

Project updates

Early work, including surveying and geotechnical work, has now been completed.

Construction is currently underway in a number of locations, and planning and investigations are also underway to determine the final scope of work and construction commencement date for the remaining areas.
