The Degraves Subway at Flinders Street station is back with 6 new lifts to improve accessibility for people switching platforms.
Since it was closed nearly 3 years ago, the subway (in the middle of the platforms at Flinders Street Station) has undergone refurbishment works. The installation of 6 new lifts, one at each platform, will give passengers more accessible options to move between platforms.
When the new Town Hall Station opens later this year, the Degraves Subway will be the connecting point between the two stations, allowing you to change between them without needing to touch off your Myki.
To prepare for this, crews have completed extensive restoration works in Degraves Street Subway and Campbell Arcade, including:
- full ceiling replacement
- upgrades to lighting, ventilation, fire, and security systems
- restoration of original tilework and key heritage features.
For now, the subway will allow moving between platforms only and the exits will remain closed. That will change in the coming months with the reopening of the historic Campbell Arcade, which adjoins the subway.
