Turn-Up-And-Go Services On Five More Melbourne Train Lines

A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will deliver turn-up-and-go train services on five more Melbourne lines.

We removed 96 level crossings and delivered the Metro Tunnel so we can run more trains across the network.

Now we’ll run 10-minute services on five more lines – so you can turn up and go.

Labor $100 million investment means trains will run every 10 minutes, seven days a week – from 7am to 7pm on weekdays and 9:30am to 7pm on weekends.

That means:

• Mernda Line: Trains every 10 minutes, down from 20 minutes.

• Hurstbridge: Trains every 10 minutes as far as Greensborough, down from 20.

• Belgrave Line: Trains every 10 minutes as far as Ringwood, down from 20. Trains will run every 20 minutes to Belgrave, down from 30.

• Lilydale Line: Trains every 10 minutes as far as Ringwood, down from 20. Trains will run every 20 minutes to Lilydale, down from 30.

• Glen Waverley Line: Trains every 10 minutes, down from 15.

This is on top of turn-up-and-go services already delivered for the Sunbury, Pakenham and Cranbourne Lines, plus more services on every other line.

Only Labor is delivering more trains and cheaper fares for Victorians.

Labor will cap PT fares at $30 a week. Jess Wilson refuses to match it.

That means fares will go up from 1 January under a Jess Wilson Liberal–One Nation coalition.

And with $40 billion in cuts, the train services Victorians rely on would be at risk, too.

That's the end of the line for more trains and cheaper fares.
