We've removed the level crossing at Webb Street, with trains now running on the new rail bridge.

The Webb Street boom gates were down for up to 33% of the morning peak, causing delays for 13,200 vehicles every day.

With the boom gates gone, we’re continuing work to build a new Narre Warren Station that will feature improved and modern facilities, with a landscaped forecourt.

The community will enjoy more seating and shelter, including a new air-conditioned waiting room. The new elevated platforms will be accessible by lifts and stairs. The station will also include new toilet facilities, an updated ticket office and kiosk.

Removing this crossing will improve safety, reduce congestion, and allow more trains to run, more often. Along with the Metro Tunnel and removal of the level crossings at McGregor Road, Main Street and Racecourse Road, it will also create a level crossing free Pakenham Line which will change how locals live, work and travel, with faster journeys and safer roads by 2025.

While we continue works to build the new Narre Warren Station, trains will run express through Narre Warren until the new station opens in late March 2024.
