Shorncliffe Line Works

ETCS will be rolled out in several stages starting with the Shorncliffe line where minor construction works are being finalised and system testing is currently underway, with trains operating in test mode on parts of the line. Extensive testing is required and must be completed when revenue service trains are not running.

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.

You may see an increase in construction personnel along the rail corridor and around stations.
