Re: Sydney Trains stations upgrade
Campbelltown station lift is now temperory closed until 31st May 2018 due to the lift upgrade. Also Adamstown is upgrading by replacing the pedestrian footbridge and stairways, installing new lifts and a ‘kiss & ride’ drop-off area and modifying platforms to facilitate the upgrade.

Re: Sydney Trains stations upgrade
This may involve the removal of pedestrian facilities on the LX so that it can be changed to automatic operation; allegedly this will mean the crossing can stay open for longer.TSE_SecretAni wrote:Also Adamstown is upgrading by replacing the pedestrian footbridge and stairways, installing new lifts and a ‘kiss & ride’ drop-off area and modifying platforms to facilitate the upgrade.

Re: Sydney Trains stations upgrade
And I thought the replacement of a lift at Penrith was slow at 2-1/2 months. Closed last Monday until 31 March. The first day there was a crowd of workmen around, removing the hydraulic oil, but haven'e seen much activity since.TSE_SecretAni wrote:Campnelltown station lift is now temperory closed until 31st May 2018 due to the lift upgrade.

A rather vague alert on Tripfinder, for Penrith:
Penrith station access closed due to station upgrade works, please use the shuttle bus if you need to move to the other side of the station

Re: Sydney Trains stations upgrade
Apparently the shuttle bus was used for a complete closure of the concourse on one weekend but the warning lingered.boronia wrote:A rather vague alert on Tripfinder, for Penrith:Penrith station access closed due to station upgrade works, please use the shuttle bus if you need to move to the other side of the station
Currently with the northern exit lift out of service, 3 or 4 casual staff at a time are employed to assist passengers with prams/luggage/etc up and down the stairs.

Surprisingly, the new lift actually started operating early last week, almost 3 weeks ahead of schedule.boronia wrote:And I thought the replacement of a lift at Penrith was slow at 2-1/2 months.
