The Newcastle to Sydney train line will get a $1 billion boost in the Morrison government budget, to grow the capacity of the country's busiest regional passenger rail corridor.
The funding for upgrades between Tuggerah and Wyong would contribute to "faster, more frequent and more reliable services", federal Minister for Urban Infrastructure Paul Fletcher said on Monday.
The money will be used for the quadruplication of tracks on the corridor between Tuggerah and Wyong on the NSW Central Coast.
