It's go time for Glenroy

Back to Newsfeed

Great news for Glenroy locals – your new Glenroy Station will open on Saturday 7 May.

Over the past year we’ve seen Glenroy’s striking copper coloured station take shape above the new rail trench, with lifts installed, platforms almost finished and rail track soon to be installed.

Initially, access to the station will be from the eastern side only (from Hartington Street) as we work on the western side of the station precinct.

The new premium station will feature 2 lifts with stair access to each lowered platform, a comfortable waiting room with city views, undercover seating areas and improved lighting.

As we finish the new lowered rail trench and get the station ready for passengers, buses will replace trains on the Craigieburn and Seymour lines from Tuesday 26 April to Saturday 7 May.

In order to remove the boom gates and complete necessary road works above ground, Glenroy Road will be closed at the level crossing to vehicles from Tuesday 26 April until Saturday 14 May, however, pedestrian access will be maintained.

When the road re-opens, it will be level crossing free.

We’ll have more information about rail replacement buses and vehicle detour routes for the community closer to the time.

Dowd Place carpark closure

To build the new larger carpark and landscape the station precinct, Dowd Place will close on Sunday 3 April to the end of August.

There will be no access to vehicles or pedestrians.

Once complete, the Glenroy Station precinct will have more than 600 car spaces for shoppers and commuters.

Hartington Street roundabout works

To improve the way cars and buses will move around the new station precinct, we’re building a roundabout at the intersection of Hartington and Nelson streets.

Until the end of March, there’ll be road and lane closures on Hartington, Marlborough and Nelson streets, with pedestrian and vehicle detours in place.

This roundabout is one of many changes we are making to local roads and parking to improve connectivity and safety in the area.

The Glenroy Road crossing will be the 60th level crossing to be removed from around Melbourne since 2015 and is being removed by lowering the rail line under the road.

As well as removing the level crossing, the project will also deliver a brand-new Glenroy Station and station precinct including improved local connections, dedicated shared use and pedestrian paths and new landscaping.
