New South Wales regional rail infrastructure upgrades

Overview

New South Wales regional rail stations, including Armidale, Uralla, Walcha Road, Kootingal, and Tamworth, are scheduled for temporary closures from October 21 to December 2.

The closures facilitate infrastructure upgrades such as platform resurfacing, improved lighting, drainage, and the installation of assisted boarding systems. These improvements are intended to support the introduction of a new bi-mode regional rail fleet, which will utilize electric power on electrified networks and switch to diesel where necessary. Replacement coach services will be provided during the upgrade period.
