Welcome
Temporary rail works underway
TO THE WORLD
FRANKSTON line passengers face more weeks of bus replacements as works on the line continue. Crews are in the process of constructing a temporary train line through Parkdale Station to allow trains to pass through while major redevelopment works take place. Buses replace trains on the train line between late October and early November to accommodate the works. Roads in the vicinity will also close during that time. Level crossing removal crews are building rail over road to replace the two level crossings at Warrigal Road, Mentone and Parkers Road, Parkdale. By the end of October Parkdale Station will close, and is expected to reopen next year. Transport minister Jacinta Allan said “we’re re-
moving 27 level crossings and building 17 new stations to prepare the Frankston Line to return to the city loop when the Metro Tunnel opens a year ahead of schedule in 2025, allowing more trains to run more often.” The state government is planning to make the Frankston line level crossing-free by 2029. Construction crews are also building more stabling at Kananook Station - capacity of the stabling will increase to 21 trains. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “upgrading the Kananook train stabling yard will create more than 100 jobs during construction and deliver another 50 new jobs to the area once the project is complete, bringing real benefits to so many people across our city.”
