A QUICK OVERVIEW

The Melbourne Metro was upgraded and connected to existing rail lines.

In the process of these track works an existing level crossing was renewed.
Two-way vehicles use this level crossing to access the rails.

A special feature: the platform covers four tracks with different track centres.

Both inner and outer panels of the tapSTRAIL system were used.
Due to the flexibility of the outer panels, the different heights of the individual tracks could also be compensated for without any problems.

tapSTRAIL enables the maintenance vehicles to easily cross over and track onto the rail.
