The Metro Tunnel will open in early December
When the Metro Tunnel opens in early December, we kick off the Summer Start with hundreds of weekly services.
Passengers can come and try the Metro Tunnel and the 5 new stations with extra services running between peak periods and on weekends on the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury lines.
In early 2026, the Big Switch will introduce a new timetable across buses, trams, regional and metropolitan trains, and connect the Cranbourne, Pakenham and Sunbury lines with all services running through the Metro Tunnel.
