Configuration Closedowns (Configs) occur in conjunction with Sydney Trains (ST) Configs and prevent all rail traffic (including mandatory trains and ad hoc traffic) from accessing a section of the ARTC network. All ST Configs are assigned a Config Number (see Table 1).
Given the high volume of rail traffic and the coordination required with the ST Network, these possessions are generally planned 24 to 48 months in advance.
