South Yarra tunnel entrance

The eastern tunnel entrance connects the Sunbury Line and the Metro Tunnel with the Cranbourne/Pakenham Line.

Works complete

Major construction for the Metro Tunnel’s tunnel entrance in South Yarra is complete.

We are continuing train testing and commissioning activities within the tunnel and along the train network for the Metro Tunnel to open in 2025.

We will also, at times, complete finishing works in South Yarra as required.

Entrance location

Trains will enter/exit the Metro Tunnel near William Street, passing underneath the Sandringham and Frankston lines and underneath South Yarra Siding Reserve.

The Metro Tunnel runs west under Toorak and St Kilda roads to the new Anzac Station.

The next stop heading east from the tunnel entrance is Malvern Station.

Precinct features

South Yarra Station

The Metro Tunnel Project does not include a new station in South Yarra or a connection from the existing station.

Upon completion of the Metro Tunnel, passengers using South Yarra Station will benefit from improved capacity and more frequent services on the Frankston and Sandringham lines.

To access Metro Tunnel stations, passengers will need to travel into Flinders Street Station or Melbourne Central Station and change there to the combined Sunbury and Cranbourne / Pakenham Line.
