ARTC network impacted by floods

The Australian Rail Track Corporation says that operations on its network continue to be severely impacted by the recent significant rainfall and flooding in Queensland and New South Wales.

An ARTC spokesperson said that services are currently suspended on the interstate network at Picton due to ongoing repair works being carried out.

“We expect these repairs to be completed on Wednesday, 16 March,” the spokesperson said.

“The network between Moss Vale to Unanderra also remains closed.

“A full inspection of impacted areas of the network has been undertaken and necessary repairs to the track are underway where possible.

“We thank our customers and the community for their patience during the network closure.”

Following the suspension of services last week, the interstate network from Grafton to Acacia Ridge in Brisbane reopened on 8 March.

The Hunter Valley network remains operational following brief closures on 8 March and 13 March due to localised flooding.
