File:NIF Springwood to Lithgow Rail Corridor Modifications completion

Description
In February 2019, construction started on the Springwood to Lithgow Rail Corridor Modifications project to accommodate the New Intercity Fleet and enable the new trains to service customers all the way to Lithgow. Modifications are now complete along the rail corridor from west of Springwood Station to Lithgow Station, including minor modifications to the Ten Tunnels Deviation (between Newnes Junction Station and Zig Zag Station), to accommodate the new and existing trains and enable the new trains to service customers all the way to Lithgow. New Intercity Fleet trains are expected to start testing as far west as Katoomba over the next few months and all the way to Lithgow soon after. Testing will be carried out along the entire Blue Mountains Line, mostly outside timetabled service times.
