Project updates
The first stage of Melbourne Airport Rail will soon be underway.
Major changes to the rail network around Sunshine Station will enable a rail line to the airport and pave the way for electrification to Melton by creating a Sunshine Station Superhub.
The Victorian Government will also deliver a new modern Albion Station, featuring an accessible concourse with lifts and stairs.
Early works for Melbourne Airport Rail are complete. This includes the utilities relocation program involving telecommunications, water and electricity services.
About the project
Melbourne Airport Rail will connect Melbourne Airport to Victoria’s regional and metropolitan train network.
Trains will run from Melbourne Airport through to Sunshine Station, then into the Metro Tunnel and the heart of the CBD, before continuing on to the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines.
This project will connect people from the airport to where they need to go – be that work, home or Victoria’s key tourism destinations – via a rail service for the first time.
Melbourne Airport Rail (SRL Airport) forms a key part of Suburban Rail Loop – the new orbital rail line between Cheltenham and Werribee.

No matter which train line you use, you'll be able to easily catch public transport to the airport.
