Respite Offer - More Trains, More Services

Infrastructure improvements are being made across Sydney's rail network to provide customers with more reliable, high capacity services as part of the More Trains, More Services program. These include modifications to track, signalling and overhead wiring infrastructure.


What do we offer impacted residents?
Prior to undertaking out of hours work, we carry out noise modelling to determine the impact of our work. Offers of respite are made based on expected noise levels and if you have recently received a respite offer, it is because our noise modelling indicates there may be noise impacts at your residence during some of our upcoming construction activities.

Why we work outside standard construction hours
To maintain a high standard of safety and reliability across the transport network, Sydney Trains carries out track work outside of peak times, mostly overnight or on weekends to minimise or avoid disruption to commuter services. Sections of the tracks are closed so maintenance crews can work safely and efficiently while fixing and upgrading the track and surrounding infrastructure.

We schedule the majority of our night work to coincide with Sydney Trains' track work periods, where no passenger services are running, to help ensure the safety of our construction team and minimise disruption to commuter services.

Minimising impacts
Transport for NSW adheres to strict environmental conditions relating to noise, vibration and dust management. We understand that construction activities may cause disruption for the community and the project team will make every effort to minimise construction impacts where possible.

We thank you for your patience during the upcoming work.
