Parkville Station will provide train access for the first time to Victoria’s world-renowned education, health and research precinct and relieve pressure on local trams and roads..
Parkville Station will open in 2025 as part of the Metro Tunnel connecting the Sunbury and Cranbourne / Pakenham lines.
Station entrances and connections
The station has 4 entrances:
- the main entrance on Grattan Street outside the University of Melbourne and
- 3 entrances on the corners of Grattan Street and Royal Parade.
These entrances will bring passengers to the doorstep of the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the Royal Melbourne Hospital, and a short walk from the Royal Women’s Hospital.
The station will create a pedestrian underpass below busy Royal Parade, providing another way to cross the road and move between the university and hospitals.
An accessible tram stop on Royal Parade/Elizabeth Street near Parkville Station will make it easier to switch between trains and trams.
