<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nResidents have organised an event to celebrate the closure of the Ringwood East station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The station, which opened in 1925 and was rebuilt in 1984, had limited carparking<\/a>, low lighting, troubled roads<\/a> and its fair share of crime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The last outbound train is expected to pass through the station at 7.37pm and the last inbound train is set for 8.31pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The station will officially close at 8.30pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ringwood East residents will not be without a station for long, with the new station set to open in early July. <\/p>\n\n\n A render of the new Ringwood station shows the updated design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Dublin Rd station will feature a main concourse and second entry, platforms that are accessible by lifts and stairs, and upgraded pedestrian and cycling paths.<\/p>\n\n\n A render of the multi level car park shows the ample parking spaces that will be available at the new Ringwood East station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There will also be a new car park with 260 car spaces next to the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The station has been commissioned as part of Victoria\u2019s level crossing removal projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Herald Sun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A group of trainspotters of a different kind are gathering at an eastern suburbs railway station tonight to say goodbye to almost 100 years of service before it\u2019s demolished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":52312,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[879,163,488],"tags":[993,9637],"class_list":["post-52311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-level-crossing-removal","category-rail-industry-news-australia-new-zealand","category-railway-stations","tag-melbourne","tag-ringwood"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=52311"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52316,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52311\/revisions\/52316"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/52312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=52311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=52311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-163-1024x576.jpeg\")
