We're upgrading the Kananook Stabling Yard to allow for more trains, more often on the Frankston Line.

The Frankston Line is one of Melbourne’s busiest train lines and the Kananook Stabling Yard will provides the essential daily services to keep the Frankston Line running efficiently.

The project will increase the capacity of the yard from 8 to 21 trains, to allow more trains to run on the Frankston Line, as well as building train maintenance and wash facilities.

What we’re doing in March

During March we will be completing works within the Stabling Yard and on Klauer Street.
