The new Croydon Station will open to passengers on\u00a0Monday 12 August, featuring modern station facilities and access to both station platforms via lifts and stairs.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Following\u00a0the return of train services on the Lilydale Line<\/a>\u00a0on Friday 5 July, crews have been working hard to get the station open as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

The new station<\/a> was due to open in late July, however, works at the station are taking longer than expected due to continued heavy rain.<\/p>\n

Trains will continue running as normal, express through Croydon Station, on the Lilydale Line, which is now the first metropolitan rail line to be level crossing free \u2013 a year ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

Shuttle buses will continue to run in Croydon connecting train passengers to services at Ringwood East and Mooroolbark until the new Croydon Station opens.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month the Victorian Government removed the dangerous and congested Coolstore Road level crossing<\/a>\u00a0and opened the new Kent Avenue to Lacey Street road connection, unifying Croydon\u2019s town centre and making it safer for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists to get around.<\/p>\n

Works will continue into spring to complete the new Croydon Transport Hub featuring a 14-bay bus interchange, as well as new road connections, and works around the new station precinct, including new station carparking, shared use paths and landscaping.<\/p>\n
