Back to Projects
The Metro Tunnel will create a new end-to-end rail line from Sunbury in the west to Cranbourne/Pakenham in the south-east, with high capacity trains and five new underground stations. The Metro Tunnel will create capacity on the network to enable more than a half a million additional passengers per week across Melbourne’s train network to use the rail system during the peak periods. Melbourne Airport Rail services will also run through the Metro Tunnel to maximise access for all Victorians and provide passengers with an under 30-minute service from the airport to the CBD. The project scope includes: (1) Twin nine-kilometre rail tunnels from the west of the city to the south-east as part of a new Sunbury to Cranbourne/Pakenham line. (2) Five new underground stations: Arden Station, Parkville, State Library, Town Hall and Anzac. (3) High Capacity Signalling to maximise the efficiency of the new fleet of High Capacity Metro Trains. (4) Train / tram interchange between Anzac Station and the Domain Interchange.
