The Australian Rail Track Corporation, ARTC, will undertake two separate rail work projects over the next five weeks to improve safety and reliability.
Maintenance and drainage work at South Dynon is now occurring until August 26, enhancing reliability for V/Line passenger rail services travelling on the north east rail to Albury.
ARTC will then start the next annual maintenance program works between September 3 and 5.
V/Line and NSW TrainLink XPT passenger train services between Melbourne and Albury will run as coaches during the works. Passengers are encouraged to check the V/Line and transport for NSW websites for service disruptions.
ARTC asset maintenance services general manager Costas Kokkoni said the works would benefit rail services in the long run.
“These works will bring long term benefits and improvements for passenger rail services between Melbourne and Albury,” he said.
“The maintenance program and other urgent works require track closures to allow access to the tracks for works that cannot be done safely when trains are running.”

More information about upcoming works is available on the ARTC website. People can also contact ARTC Enviroline on 1300 550 402 or email enviroline@artc.com.au if they have questions.
