Macarthur railway station is located on the Main South line, serving the Sydney suburb of Campbeltown. It is served by Sydney Trains T2 Airport line and NSW TrainLink Southern Highlands Line services. It is the southern extremity of the electrified Sydney Trains network. ==History== Construction started in November 1983 with the station opening on 28 July 1985.〔"1983/84 Annual Report" ''Railway Digest'' April 1985 page 95〕〔(Macarthur Station ) NSWrail.net〕〔"Macarthur Station's Few Trains" ''Railway Digest'' August 1985 page 233〕 It was initially only served by a few peak-hour services until a new timetable was introduced on 16 November 1986.〔"Supersize Trains for Central Coast" ''Railway Digest'' November 1986 page 339〕 The station initially consisted of two side platforms. Because suburban trains terminating on the main lines caused congestion to through trains, a side turnback platform was added in time for the 2000 Summer Olympics. Under the CityRail Clearways Project, Macarthur received an upgrade. This work, completed in late 2010, included refurbishment of the station, a bus interchange and a new carpark. In a proposed second stage, Macarthur was to receive a fourth platform for through trains heading south, however the project was cancelled.〔(Macarthur Turnback Project ) Transport Construction Authority〕 In January 2013, the Southern Sydney Freight Line opened to the west of the station. Electrification through the Macarthur station site was completed in 1968 as part of the Liverpool-Glenlee electrification project. Electric passenger trains terminated at Campbelltown, but freight trains ontinued to Glenlee coal siding and loader (now in Mount Annan) so that electrically hauled coal trains could connect it and Port Kembla. The Glenlee coal loader has closed, and the wires removed beyond Macarthur. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Macarthur railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
