Light Service Facility (LSF) nearing completion

Peter Kessler (CEO) and Helen Cleary (Commercial Manager) visited our LSF Project on 3 June 2025. James Porteous, Shani Abrahams and Paul Stevens hosted the visit which included inspections of completed fixed track within the Light Service Facility (LSF) shed including both Graffiti Wash Bay and Maintenance Bay (photo) and enabling track works ahead of the main rail occupation scheduled for later this month.

Completed LSF Maintenance Bay

Taylor Rail have installed the fixed track rails to very high tolerances (+/- 2mm but in most cases +/- 1mm) that have exceeded our client’s expectations.

With its partner Category5, in September 2024, Taylor Rail was contracted by Degnan to deliver 1025 lineal m of external (ballasted) plain track and 120 lineal m of fixed track within the LSF and all associated overhead traction.

As part of the High-Capacity Metro Trains (HCMT) Project, a plan to build and maintain 65 new high-capacity trains for the Melbourne metropolitan network, the LSF is now being constructed in Melbourne’s Calder Park precinct by Degnan.
