Improving resilience between Sydney and Melbourne

Our ongoing efforts to improve network resilience and reliability continued last weekend, with a series of works completed between Sydney and Melbourne.

Works were carried out from 5-8 December, including re-railing, track reconditioning, structure repairs and upgrades, mudhole removal, and track tamping.

In addition to maintenance activities, resilience-building works included the upgrade of two culverts with new reinforced concrete box culverts at Tahmoor and Bargo, as well as ballast renewal at Picton in NSW.

Major works were also undertaken as part of the Inland Rail project, including the demolition of the Albury station footbridge to make way for a new elevated pedestrian overpass, and a range of signalling, piling and construction activities across Victorian sites.
