More Trains More Services
Over the next 10 years the More Trains, More Services program will transform Sydney’s busiest train lines with more services through digital systems, infrastructure upgrades, and more new trains.
As part of the MTMS works, to accommodate changes to operations of the T4 line, station upgrades are required to ensure customers receive an increased level of safety and comfort, one of the major features of the upgrades included extending the platform canopy to enable better passenger spread along the platform, to reduce dwell times and improve timetable reliability.
Arncliffe Station Canopy Extension
Degnan in line with Heritage NSW conditions and requirements have extended the platform canopies at Arncliffe Station on platform 3 and 4, these new canopies have been constructed to encourage commuters to use the full length of the platform in all weather conditions, to ease platform congestions during busy times.
In addition to the canopy extension, additional seating and CCTV, lighting and public announcement systems and digital information boards have been installed.
Arncliffe Station is one of the few remaining original buildings in the metropolitan area and one of the best examples of suburban station architecture from the boom period of railway construction between 1870 and 1880.
Arncliffe Station was designed as the first major station on the Illawarra Line. The station, originally known as the Illawarra Road Station.
