Vossloh to deliver specially designed sleepers for Sydney Metro West

Vossloh has been awarded the contract to supply around 72,000 specially designed sleepers to the Australian infrastructure company John Holland on the Sydney Metro West Linewide Package for the new metro network.

The Sydney Metro West project is a new 24-kilometre underground metro railway which will double rail capacity between Parramatta and the Sydney Central Business District. Sydney Metro West will target an opening date of 2032.

The booted sleepers supplied by Vossloh are designed for use in resilient track systems.

“In densely populated metropolitan areas, high-capacity rail transportation must go hand in hand with minimising impacts on residents,” says Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh AG. “Sydney Metro West Linewide package is an impressive example of how modern infrastructure can achieve both.”

Due to the project’s specific technical requirements, the sleepers will be manufactured in France and then shipped to Australia.
