Video: Passengers return to Adelaide Railway Station

Adelaide Railway Station has reopened following a month-long closure for vital upgrade works.

The programme of improvements was part of the region’s Rail Revitalisation project.

Upgrades completed include:

• New masts and gantries have been installed to hold the electric wires that will power the new electric trains from Seaford (formerly Noarlunga)
• Tamping machine used to compact the ballast and create a solid foundation for the tracks, which is fundamental to ride quality for the rail cars
• Drainage improvements
• Inside the station there are new toilets, upgraded escalators, and work on a new air-conditioning system is still underway
• Main junction has been upgraded (Nairne Junction) with new sleepers, steelwork and ballast
