ETCS will be rolled out in several stages starting with the Shorncliffe Line where work has already commenced and is expected to be operational in 2022. The project will involve ETCS equipment and technology being fitted to trains, on and alongside rail tracks, and within Queensland Rail’s Rail Management Centre followed by operational testing.
You may see an increase in construction personnel along the rail corridor and around stations.
During September, construction work will continue in the rail corridor at sites between Northgate and Shorncliffe stations. Day works are scheduled between 6.00am and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday. Some activities will be undertaken outside normal construction hours, as per the table below (weather and construction conditions permitting).
During August and September, fibre hauling and electrical work will be completed after hours to ensure the safety of workers inside the rail corridor (weather and construction conditions permitting). See below for more information on when and where the works will occur.
