The old station building at Glenroy being demolished
Farewell Glenroy Station
Keen-eyed locals may have noticed one of the last parts of Glenroy Station disappearing recently, as the Glenroy Road level crossing removal gathers pace.
Workers on the project spent almost 5 hours demolishing the last station building with a 22-tonne excavator while trains weren’t running on the Craigieburn Line.
With the old station building gone, construction continues on the new Glenroy Station. The roof and new platforms are now in place, with cladding and paving underway.
The new Glenroy Station will open at 9pm on Friday 6 May.
Getting around Glenroy
To the east of Glenroy Station, a new roundabout has been built at the intersection of Hartington and Nelson streets.
The roundabout will help buses entering and exiting the new Glenroy Station bus interchange when it opens in May.
The linear bus interchange will run parallel along Hartington Street, providing improved line of sight and safety for bus drivers, commuters and pedestrians.
