"The RSA will leverage CPB Contractors’ comprehensive experience delivering brownfield rail projects for Victoria and Bombardier Transportation’s international expertise and proven high-capacity signalling solutions."

“Working with MMRA and MTM, the RSA is focused on delivering a system that meets operational requirements, integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure and improves overall network performance.”

The RSA will carry out the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of train and power control systems, operational control systems and conventional and high-capacity signalling under the deal.

It will provide systems along almost 91km of existing operational rail corridor, as well as through the new 9km-long twin tunnels.

The Government of Victoria is also expected to issue expressions of interest in the near future, which will involve the delivery of the final major works package for the Metro Tunnel – the Rail Infrastructure Alliance (RIA).
