The Metro Tunnel will open in early December

Passengers can come and try the Metro Tunnel and the 5 new stations later this year with extra services running between peak periods and on weekends on the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury lines.

In early 2026, we’ll introduce the new timetable and connect the busy Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury lines with all services running through the Metro Tunnel.
