Kids Encyclopedia Facts


The Melbourne railway network comprises 17 railway lines organised into six groups and is operated by Metro Trains Melbourne. The first section of the network opened in 1854, making the Melbourne metropolitan rail network the oldest rail system in Australia. Most of the network is above ground, with the main underground section being the City Loop.

These 17 lines consist of 16 electrified lines and 1 diesel shuttle service. The electrified 16 lines are the Alamein, Belgrave, Glen Waverley and Lilydale lines which are part of the Burnley Group, the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines which are part of the Caulfield Group, the Hurstbridge and Mernda lines which are part of the Clifton Hill Group, the Frankston, Werribee and Williamstown lines which are part of the Cross City Group, the Craigieburn, Sunbury and Upfield lines which are part of the Northern Group, the Sandringham line and the Flemington Racecourse line. In addition to these 16 electrified lines, there is also the Stony Point line which operates as a shuttle service between Frankston and Stony Point.

There are 221 suburban railway stations that are currently operational in Melbourne. In addition to the stations currently opened, there are an additional 73 closed to passengers and 11 stations expected to open in the near future.

The network is broken up into two Myki ticketing zones. These zones determine how much it would cost to travel from one station to another, with cross zone travel costing more than travelling within the same zone.
