Transforming lives, one trip at a time.
More train services will help move people around Sydney, and our team at the Next Rail Alliance is proud to have played a part in making this vision a reality.
The team recently celebrated the successful completion of More Trains, More Services Stage 2 (MTMS2) alongside Transport for NSW - wrapping up five years of dedicated work across some of Sydney’s busiest rail corridors.
From Mascot to Wolli Creek, Erskineville to Hurstville and beyond, this project, currently part of the rebranded “Rail Service Improvement Program”, has been all about making train travel safer, more efficient and more reliable for passengers.
The works will deliver long-term benefits for the community with:
🚆 A 60% increase in services at Airport stations on the T8 Airport Line
🚆 More peak services on the T4 Illawarra Line from Cronulla, Waterfall and Hurstville
🚆 More frequent trains on the South Coast Line - every 15 minutes in peak, every 30 off-peak between Wollongong and the Sydney CBD
🚆 Two state-of-the-art substations at Mascot and Wolli Creek to power extra services on the network.
Behind the scenes there were even more great achievements:
🛤️ More than 140 weekend possessions over the project lifespan, delivered safely in complex brownfield environments;
🛤️ A focus on innovation saw an Australian-first use of utility rings in the underground Mascot cable tunnel, improving safety and efficiency
🛤️ Overcoming challenges including COVID-19, flooding events, and multiple interfaces - all while earning a total of eight industry awards across various categories.
We’re proud to have delivered a project that will benefit commuters and communities for years to come, and proud of the capability and long-term focus our people bring to every job.
Here’s to building better journeys across NSW, together.
