edit

Prior to the 2014 state election, the then Labor opposition announced a plan to remove 50 level crossings by 2022, including 20 by 2018.[1] Park Road, Cheltenham, Mascot Avenue, Bonbeach, and Lochiel Avenue, Edithvale were added to the original 50 level crossing removals after further community consultations.[2][3][4] This pushed the number of level crossing removals to 53. These removals were completed on the Glen Waverley, Frankston, Sunbury, Belgrave, Lilydale, Upfield, Pakenham, Cranbourne, Werribee, Craigieburn, and Mernda lines by May 2022.[5]

New and rebuilt stations

edit

There will be 51 railway stations rebuilt as part of the LXRP. Four stations are being added to the metropolitan network as part of suburban rail extensions delivered by the LXRP. Three of these stations, Hawkstowe, Middle Gorge and Merndawere added as part of the Mernda rail extension, which extended the former South Morang line eight kilometres (5.0 mi)north to Mernda. The extension, announced by Labor at the 2014 state election, opened in 2018.[117][118] As part of the level crossing removals along the Pakenham line, a new station was added at East Pakenham along with a short rail extension.[119] The LXRP also delivered a new infill station at Southland on the Frankston line.[120] In one case, the nearby Mont Albert and Surrey Hills railway stations on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines were merged and replaced with a brand new Union station located between them.[121][122]
