Waterfall Stabling Yard and Platform Extension Project

Transport for NSW acknowledges the Dharawal people as the traditional custodians of the land known as the Sutherland Shire and pay our respect to Elders past and present.

What are we doing at Waterfall Station?

To contribute to an improved rail network, Waterfall Station is being upgraded to accommodate the Mariyung Fleet including track work within the rail corridor and a new fleet stabling yard.

The work at Waterfall will increase the number of train services able to be operated along the line, allow longer trains to stop at Waterfall and improve the way freight and passenger services travel through the rail network.

Upgrades include:

• installing a new retaining wall along the boundary to widen the rail corridor and provide more tracks
• extending the northern end of the island platform by about 40 metres to accommodate the longer fleet of intercity trains and allow passengers to access all carriages
• rearranging tracks on the western side of the rail corridor to create a new train stabling yard to accommodate additional trains and introduce a freight loop
• realigning and installing new overhead wiring and signalling equipment so the new trains can operate safely and efficiently
• installing a new staff amenities building and connecting a footbridge to assist with efficient cleaning and maintenance of the new trains
• improving safety on the platforms by upgrading lighting, closed circuit television, the passenger announcement systems, tactile paving and line marking as required by the platform extensions.
