From Jacinta Allan (Via r/MelbourneTrains on Reddit):

Parkville Station is now complete 🚉

I wanted to jump on here to share the latest Metro Tunnel update: Parkville Station is now complete – so here's a sneak peek of how it looks inside.

Some of my favourite features include this incredible artwork by Patricia Piccinini, the skylights above store fronts, and full-height platform screen gates.

This is the first time we'll have train connections to our education and health precinct in Parkville. You'll be able to hop off the train and walk to Melbourne Uni, or the Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre via a pedestrian underpass.

We know Metro Tunnel is a big change. So from the moment it opens, we'll have specialised 'hypercare' response teams on the ground to make sure it all runs smoothly for commuters.

That's two down and three to go on the Metro Tunnel.

All ready for action in 2025.
