ROLLING STOCK PPP – DOUBLE DECK TRAINS
MAINTENANCE FACILITY SPECIFICATION - ATTACHMENT 7
ATTACHMENT 7 - SIGNAL FUNCTIONAL SPEC V7.DOC
The Rolling Stock Public Private Partnership (PPP) Project incorporates the design,
construction, maintenance and finance of new passenger rail cars to replace existing R, S &
L rolling stock and associated maintenance facilities for the rail cars. The maintenance site
for this project is located between Auburn and Clyde stations on the southern side of the
western Main Line. The PPP Co. will operate the facility for approximately 35 years before it
is handed back to RailCorp.
The capacity of the PPP Maintenance Facility is to maintain a fleet of 1000 cars comprising
the PPP Sets and, Other Sets (that include sets that RailCorp agrees to be maintained at
the Maintenance Facility).
This facility will have a number of storage and maintenance sidings with connections to the
RailCorp network via the Down Relief currently being upgraded. The facility will also share
access to the Down Relief with MainTrain, Presentation Services and the Manildra flour
store.
Note: This document also refers to a Future RailCorp Facility adjacent to the PPP
Maintenance Facility. Based on preliminary planning for the site it is expected that this
facility will be a Stabling Yard, however no decision has been made at this time.
This functional specification outlines the key signalling requirements for the new PPP
Maintenance Facility, and it’s interfaces with the existing RailCorp network including the
Down Relief.
