Riders may encounter some disruption around Merlynston Station car park and the Upfield Trail at the beginning of July.
Trains are not running on the Upfield line due to track works that weekend and works to expand the car park will be conducted at the same time.
Access to Merlynston Station will be closed from Orvieto Street. Please use the eastern entrance on Bain Avenue to access Myki facilities.
Pedestrian access across the rail line at the station will be closed. Detours will be in place at Boundary Road or Shorts Road. See map.

Sections of the car park at Merlynston Station will be closed to facilitate works. Signage will provide more information.
There will be increased heavy vehicle movements and temporary traffic management will be in place, including at the Bakers Road level crossing, to allow for machinery to move on and off the tracks.
The Victorian Government and Australian Government have partnered to deliver more commuter car parking for Merlynston Station, as well as new lighting, CCTV and more bicycle hoops. This will help free up local streets and make it easier for passengers to catch the train.
