Description
Description | The project involves the design and construction of about 35 kilometres of twin tunnels using tunnel boring machines, associated civil works, an underground railway station on the Central Coast, and all system installation. It also includes the supply of high speed trains, design of all rail systems, construction of the rail depot and operations control centre, and the integration, testing and commissioning of all relevant systems for the Newcastle to Sydney HSR corridor. The project aims to connect Newcastle to Sydney in about one hour with trains running up to 320 km/h, with the Central Coast just half an hour from both Sydney and Newcastle. The Newcastle to Central Coast stretch aims to be delivered by 2037, followed by extensions to Sydney Central by 2039 and Western Sydney International Airport by 2042. |
