We’re getting ready to run longer nine-car VLocity trains on the Melton Line from 2028.

As part of the $650 million Melton Line Upgrade, we're building a new stabling yard in Cobblebank, approximately 700m east of the new Melton Station, to house the new trains. We’ll also carry out works at stations along the Melton Line to get ready for the new 9-car VLocity trains.

What we’re doing

As part of early site investigations, we’re undertaking works within the rail corridor near the western end of Jester Drive from 9pm, Sunday 17 August to 4am, Monday 18 August.

These works will help us understand local ground conditions and help inform the final designs of the Cobblebank train stabling yard.

What to expect

  • Minor increase in noise
  • Additional lighting for night works
  • Construction workers and machinery within the rail corridor

Access to homes and businesses will be maintained at all times.

We’ll make every effort to complete works on schedule, however dates are subject to change.
