Below is an overview of the disruptions and details of replacement buses on the Frankston and Stony Point lines over the next few weeks.

Victoria’s Big Build is making the Frankston Line level crossing-free by removing all 27 of the dangerous and congested level crossings by 2029. Victoria’s Big Build is building 17 new stations, improving safety, reducing congestion and allowing more trains to run more often.

Victoria’s Big Build is removing the level crossing at Parkers Road in Parkdale and Warrigal Road in Mentone by building a rail bridge over the road and a new Parkdale Station with better facilities and more services. Removing these crossings will change how locals live, work and travel, and journeys on the Frankston Line will be faster and local roads safer.

Regular maintenance and critical safety works undertaken by Metro Trains Melbourne will also continue to ensure the safety and efficiency of Melbourne's metropolitan rail network.
