Kingsgrove to Beverly Hills Asset Rationalisation
Transport for NSW acknowledges the Biddegal/Bidjigal/Bedegal people of the Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of the land of Georges River and pays respect to Elders past and present.
What are we doing between Kingsgrove and Beverly Hills?
As part of work on the More Trains, More Services program, we are removing redundant track and infrastructure from the rail corridor between Beverly Hills and Kingsgrove stations. This work will facilitate improved movement and management of train services and remove unnecessary maintenance costs.
The More Trains, More Services program aims to simplify and modernise the rail network so that customers can expect more frequent train services with less wait times, less crowding and more seats on a simpler, more reliable network.
Work between Kingsgrove and Beverly Hills will include:
- removing, realigning and installing new overhead wiring and signalling equipment so trains can operate safely and efficiently
- removing approximately 200m of redundant track to declutter and simplify the network
- installing modern infrastructure to support improved services.
Next steps
We are continuing to deliver projects across New South Wales while ensuring the safety of the community. In line with current Australian Government guidelines around slowing the spread of Coronavirus and social distancing, all work will be carried out at a safe physical distance where possible and necessary hygiene practices will be observed.
Site investigation work will be begin shortly to further inform the technical design for this work. Site compounds will be established to store project materials and machinery, as indicated in the image above.
The majority of our construction activities are scheduled to take place in Sydney Trains trackwork periods when services aren’t running and power isolations are in place.
Working during trackwork periods minimises disruptions to commuter services and improves the safety of our construction team and customers.
