RAIL CORPORATION NEW SOUTH WALES
8 SIGNALLING - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
8.1 CONCEPT SIGNALLING SCHEMATIC
ROLLING STOCK PPP – DOUBLE DECK TRAINS
MAINTENANCE FACILITY SPECIFICATION - ATTACHMENT 7
ATTACHMENT 7 - SIGNAL FUNCTIONAL SPEC V7.DOC
Concept Signalling Schematics have been developed for the new facility and its interfaces
with the RailCorp Down Relief Line. The concept schematics have been prepared as a
guide to the level of signalling required for estimating and project planning purposes.
The final number, positioning and form of signals will be determined by:
• A review of the final operational requirements – especially across the interfaces with the
RailCorp network.
• A Risk assessment
The Concept Signalling requirements showing the Control Areas for each of the stages are
shown on the following A3 drawings:
Stages 1 & 2 – Control Areas SG0405297 (Sheet 1) To SG0405303 (Sheet 7)
Stages 3 – Control Areas SG0405304 (Sheet 1) To SG0405310 (Sheet 7)
Copies of these drawings are included as Attachments 1 & 2 respectively
8.2 DESIGN STANDARDS FOR SIGNALLING AND RELATED SYSTEMS
The signalling, train control and related communications systems design must comply with
all current relevant RailCorp design standards.
Details of the latest versions of the standards can be obtained from the RailCorp website.
Where there is no specific RailCorp standard the relevant Australian standards apply.
8.3 ELECTRICAL PROTECTION
The signalling, control and communications systems must be protected from any
interference from other electrical power distribution systems, including the RailCorp 1500v
DC Traction supply system.
The systems must also be protected from lightning and other electrical surges in
accordance with the RailCorp standards.
Note: This site is particularly susceptible to lightning strikes.
