Access for Third Party Train Operators to the rail network
Third party access to the NSW rail network is provided by the Transport Asset Holding Entity of New South Wales (TAHE)
We have developed an information pack to assist organisations wishing to apply for and purchase access to the NSW rail network. The pack contains a comprehensive range of material to help those seeking access to evaluate whether they wish to apply for access.
