Introduction
Vehicles and trains shall generate no energy capable of interfering with the RailCorp
signalling and communications equipment.
1.1
Copper communication cables
Copper communications cables are primarily used for local distribution of services from
nodes fed by optic fibre cables. These services include both telephone and digital data
services.
Frequencies in use range from D.C. to 2 MHz plus harmonics.
1.1.1
Cable construction and installation.
New cable is of unit twin, jelly filled construction, with a moisture barrier sheath but no
screening. The capacitance unbalance to earth for these cables is typically less than 1%.
There is a small (and decreasing) amount of screened quad cable still in use.
In the Sydney metropolitan area many of the cable routes are above ground in troughing
and drawings are not always available. Cable route plans of buried cables are available if
required. Cable routes may be anywhere within (and at times are outside) the railway
easement, but are typically close to the boundary fence line on one or both sides of the
easement.
2
Railway radio systems
Radio systems to be considered from an interference viewpoint include MetroNet, WB,
GRN, Police Radio, Station Radio and Worksite Radio.
MetroNet operates in the 403 – 420 MHz band on 12.5kHz spaced analogue channels.
WB is a simplex single analogue channel system operating at 450.05 MHz.
GRN operates in the 403 – 420 MHz band on 12.5kHz spaced analogue channels,
migrating to digital.
Police Radio operates in the 450 – 470 MHz band on 12.5kHz spaced analogue
channels, migrating to digital.
Station Radio operates in the 400 – 470 MHz band on 12.5kHz spaced analogue
channels.
Worksite Radio operates in the 450 – 470 MHz band on 12.5kHz spaced analogue
channels.

Interference tests
Type tests shall be conducted using the train set to measure vehicle generated
disturbance effects in signalling track circuits, telecommunication cables and lineside
telecommunications systems.
Refer to ESR 0001 – 200, Section 33 (RSU 296) Signal and Communication Interference
Tests and to RailCorp Signalling Standard ESG 006 Rolling Stock Signalling Interface
Requirements.
