Stage 3 of the Shepparton Line Upgrade is set to be completed later this year.
Coaches will replace trains for all or part of the journey on the Shepparton Line from Sunday, 7 September to Tuesday, 16 September to prepare for commissioning the line’s new signalling system.
During this time, crews will carry out signalling testing and construction work along the line, including cabling works and installing trackside signalling equipment between Seymour and Shepparton.
The project is updating the line’s ageing infrastructure to enable a significant boost to the number of return services that can travel between Melbourne and Shepparton during the week – an increase from 5 per day to 9.
A major construction blitz will take place later this year to commission the signalling system and will include safety testing of the line’s new infrastructure, to bring the new system into operation and complete the Shepparton Line Upgrade.
Further information on timing will be provided once plans are finalised.
