Punchbowl Train Metro Upgrade

Customers at Punchbowl Station will have a new air-conditioned metro train every four minutes in the peak – that’s 15 trains an hour. Punchbowl Station is currently serviced by 8 trains an hour in the morning peak.

The station will be upgraded with new lifts for the first time, level access between the platforms and trains and platform screen doors to keep people and objects away from the tracks.

A Station Design and Precinct Plan (SDPP) has been finalised for Punchbowl Station that shows how the new station design has developed and how it will integrate with the surrounding precinct. The summary document▪ external site details key improvements.

Downer EDI Works Pty Ltd was awarded the contract to upgrade Dulwich Hill, Campsie, Punchbowl, Hurlstone Park, Belmore and Wiley Park stations on the more than 125-year-old T3 Bankstown Line to metro rail standards. John Holland Pty Ltd and Laing O’Rourke Australia Construction Pty Ltd Joint Venture is delivering the final package of station upgrade works.

Martinus Rail has been awarded the contract to upgrade locations adjacent to the corridor with protective measures to reduce the risk of vehicles impacting the network.
