Hornsby turnback (original) (raw)
Construction related to the Hornsby turnback project.
The project involves construction of a new platform for interurban & long distance passenger trains and freight trains. Northern line trains will use the existing platform as a turnback, meaning trains continuing north can pass the train at the turnback platform. Essentially it will eliminate some delays and provide a modest increase in capacity.
In addition to the new platform, 1.7 km of new track leading into the new platform is provided and Hornsby yard is being reconfigured. The bus interchange is also being upgraded.
