We upgraded infrastructure to allow VLocity trains to run on the line for the first time.
Works included level crossing closures and upgrades, modifications to train stabling at South Dynon and upgrades to train stabling at Albury Station. We also built a new accessible ramp at Albury Station.
Upgrades to the standard gauge track were delivered by the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), improving passenger services between Melbourne and Albury/Wodonga. This work included track resurfacing, new ballast and underground wires, drainage improvements, rail bridge upgrades and mud-hole removal.
ARTC delivered more works on top of the original project scope, including upgrades to 20 more rail bridges and renewing track turnouts at Violet Town and Seymour.
