Introduction – Who is NRT?

$3.7 billion Operations Trains & Systems (OTS) Contract Contract value awarded to Northwest Rapid Transit (NRT) NRT Consortium John Holland, Leighton Contractors, MTR Corporation & UGL Partners NRT will deliver the Metro Northwest by the first half Timeframe of 2019 and will operate and maintain it for 15 years

NRT combines the experience of the world’s number one commercial metro train operator with Australia’s most experienced railway contractors. NRT Scope Snapshot

22 metro trains

8 new + 5 upgraded stations

4000 commuter car parking spaces

A train every 4 minutes

23km new + 13km upgraded track (Epping to Chatswood)

NRT - Customer focused and operator-led

. Customer service and operational requirements inherent within the design and throughout the project lifecycle . Safety is the number one priority for design, construction and operation . Sustainability features include; natural lighting, solar panels and fresh air ventilation

NRT Organisational Structure

NRT – program of work

Culture

Sydney Metro Trains Facility

Station design

Above ground stations: Kellyville & Rouse Hill are elevated stations on the viaduct

At grade stations: Bella Vista, Cherrybrook & Cudgegong Rd stations are at grade

Underground stations: Norwest, Showground and Castle Hill Showground Station – street level, artist impression stations are underground

Artist impressions: Kellyville - above ground station Artist impressions: Cherrybrook - at grade station Artist impressions: Norwest - underground station

Showground Station

Norwest Station Station platforms

. Platforms will incorporate: (PSD) or platform edge barriers (PEB); passenger information display screens; Help Points; PA; CCTV; lifts and escalators . PSD/PEB will form the line of safety between the platform and track edge

Train Systems

. Fully automated train operation . Systems include; CBTC (communications based train control system), CCTV, Central Control, PA and radio . Central Operational Control Centre (OCC) to control and monitor trains, stations and infrastructure – attended 24/7 . OCC communicates with passengers via intercom system (and CCTV) . Operation of train doors, PSD and PID will be automatically controlled Metro Trains . Single deck 6-car units – 3 doors and 2 . Modern interior, stream-lined exterior wheelchair spaces per car . End detrainment door . Open and wide gangways (1300mm) between cars . Continuous surveillance of CCTV in cars . Train floors level with train platforms . Air-conditioned, bright illumination with LED lighting, draught screens . Large windows . Hearing loops, intercom, emergency pushbutton . Fully automated train operation . Hand grips and grab poles
