Downer has been awarded a $107 million contract by the New South Wales Government to upgrade Dulwich Hill, Campsie and Punchb ... owl stations to metro rail standards. The upgrades will be delivered in addition to the recently awarded $98 million contract to upgrade Wiley Park, Hurlstone Park and Belmore stations. The upgrades include: * Upgrading and re-levelling of existing platforms to provide level access to the new fully-air conditioned metro trains – no more step into the train for customers; * New lifts at Hurlstone Park and Wiley Park Stations connecting existing concourses to platform level; * New family accessible toilets at Hurlstone Park and Wiley Park stations; * New service buildings and cabling for the new rail systems; * Upgrades to stations like painting, improved lighting, tiling and paving; * Upgrades to security fencing adjacent to each station, including installation of anti-throw screens to existing overbridges adjacent to each station; and * Improvements to interchanges including bike parking, taxi spaces, kiss and ride and accessible parking. * The stations will also be prepared for the installation of platform screen doors. * These glass safety barriers keep people and objects like prams away from the tracks and are being used for the first time in Australia on Sydney Metro. Metro services on the upgraded Bankstown Line start in 2024, when customers will have a train every four minutes in each direction in the peak – that’s 15 trains an hour each way. Currently, some stations like Wiley Park and Canterbury only have four trains an hour. The T3 Bankstown Line will remain open during the majority of construction. read more
