Canberra's light rail network will become wireless through the Parliamentary Triangle as construction continues into the city's south, following a joint investment from the federal and ACT governments.Five new vehicles will be added to the network, allowing the light rail to become wireless through the Parliamentary Triangle
In a statement, the ACT government said this would enable the vehicles to operate wirelessly along the route's extension throughout the parliamentary zone, stage 2A to Commonwealth Park and stage 2B towards Woden respectively. "This will be followed by the submission of an environmental assessment and works approval application for the stage 2A project, so construction of the light rail line can commence soon after raising London Circuit is complete," the statement said.
"We need to order new LRVs now, and upgrade our existing fleet and depot, to ensure we have enough vehicles manufactured, delivered, tested and ready to start services to Commonwealth Park when construction of the track is completed," Mr Steel said.
