Trains will resume running on the Lilydale Line on\u00a0Friday 5 July<\/strong>\u00a0after the removal of the\u00a0Dublin Road, Ringwood East\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0Coolstore Road, Croydon<\/a> level crossings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crews have been working around the clock since Friday 24 May<\/strong> in a final push to remove the 2 sets of boom gates and to build the 2 new stations. The new Ringwood East Station will open to passengers on Friday 5 July<\/strong>, with the new premium Croydon Station set to open in late July<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ringwood East, crews are continuing to lay tracks in the new 650m rail trench and build the new Ringwood East Station, which will feature 2 entrances accessible by lifts and stairs, CCTV and improved lighting, and more than 460 car parking spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crews will remain in the area after the construction blitz to finish works in the station precinct, including landscaping and car parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work is also continuing to finish building Croydon\u2019s new rail bridge and premium station, and to complete the new Kent Avenue to Lacey Street connection. This connection will also open on Friday 5 July<\/strong>, connecting Croydon\u2019s town centre and providing motorists and pedestrians with a safer way to cross the rail line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work to complete the rest of the new Croydon Transport Hub, including the bus interchange, new road connections, landscaping, and walking and cycling paths will continue into spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
