Sunbury Line to close for nearly a month

The Sunbury line will be closed between Sunbury and Sunshine for almost a month as level crossing works ramp up.

Buses will replace trains between Sunbury and Sunshine stations for Sunbury line passengers from October 4 to 30.

A “construction blitz” at  level crossings in St Albans and Ginifer will also close Furlong Road,  from October 12 to 27, and Main Road at the rail line from November 4 to 28.

About 700 construction workers will toil around the clock as part of the blitz. Existing station buildings at St Albans and Ginifer will be demolished and new stations and rail equipment installed during this time. Redundant signals, tracks and overhead wiring will also be removed.
