Government agency Rail Projects Victoria (RPV) has begun the search for companies to help deliver the Melbourne Airport Rail Link. Launching the registrations of interest (ROI) process on September 12, RPV said it will help the Victorian government assess which organisations have the experience and capability to bring the project to fruition, as well as gauging interest from private sector investors and operators.
Designers, engineers, rail systems providers, rolling stock providers, investors, financiers, developers and other rail infrastructure providers are sought as part of the process. A full business case is currently being developed with the Commonwealth Government for the project, which will see trains travel to the airport from the central business district via a new Sunshine Super Hub.
