The North Shore Line in Sydney is closed for heavy trackwork for the next 5 days. They’ve got a pretty good excuse – a new rail line is being integrated into Chatswood station, and a bridge over the rails there pulled down as well. Still, 5 days is a long time for a service like that to be down! I imagine if there was a five-day rail closure in Tokyo, there would be some sort of violent revolutionary overthrow of the government.
Anyway, here’s some pictures of the station nearest to me, Artarmon, a small platform betwixt the much larger stations of Chatswood and St Leonard.
Closed!
No-one here.
Still no-one here!
Taking the opportunity to trim some trees near the line.
A crane bestride the tracks.
