Update: 2025-11-30
Description
Melbournes Metro Tunnel officially opens, marking a significant upgrade to the citys public transport system with five new underground stations, modern platform screen doors, and retail shops. The first public journey departed Sunbury Station, arriving at Arden Station before continuing to Parkville, State Library, Town Hall, and Anzac stations. The nine-kilometer twin tunnel system promises to ease congestion and improve connectivity. Despite minor issues and controversy over safety concerns, the project is hailed as the biggest enhancement to Melbournes rail network since the City Loop opened four decades ago.
