History

The Northern Line is the suburban portion of the Main Northern Line which opened in as a single track line 1886. In 1892, the line was duplicated to Hornsby[1], and electrified in 1926 as part of the Bradfield electrification scheme. An abandoned section of the Main North Line near Armidale, New South Wales. ...


Line Description

The line physically begins at Strathfield where it branches from the South and Western Lines. The line that CityRail markets as the 'Northern Line' is the suburban section of the Main North Line which heads north to Newcastle and beyond. Train services that serve the Northern Line usually begin as a continuation of North Shore Line services in the north of Sydney at North Sydney station before heading across the Harbour Bridge and through the underground stations of Wynyard and Town Hall to Central and Redfern stations. Services then run along the Main Suburban Railway, usually using the inner 'Suburban' pair of the six tracks between Redfern and Strathfield. Services generally do not stop at intermediate stations between these two points. At Strathfield, trains usually head onto a flyover over the 'Main lines', before going over a bridge across Parramatta Road heading north on their own alignment.

The line between Strathfield and Hornsby is mostly double track, except for quadruple track sections between Thornleigh and Pennant Hills, and between Epping and West Ryde, and triple track sections at Thornleigh, Epping, and between Rhodes and Strathfield. A fourth track existed for freight between Concord West and Strathfield, although this has not been in use since around 2003. The line and stations are all at ground level or in cuttings.

Diagram of the Northern Line

The line route, which has not been altered since the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, is set to be changed significantly following the construction of the Epping to Chatswood link, due to open in 2008. Following this, the line will essentially be split in half. Services north of Epping will be diverted to run via the new line and the North Shore Line to free up much-needed space on the lines between Strathfield and Central. Services south of Epping will continue to use the existing route. The only trains likely to continue to use the whole existing route between Hornsby and Strathfield will be the express Intercity services on the Newcastle and Central Coast Line which share the same tracks.
