The three Shepparton line stations’ car parks have been asphalted and have new lighting and CCTV.

They are now also equipped with accessible car parking spaces linked to the platforms via new pedestrian paths.

The stations’ platforms have been extended to suit the longer VLocity trains, which are due to begin travelling to and from Shepparton once stage two of the Shepparton line upgrade is completed later this year. The extended platforms have also been fitted with new lighting, seating and shelter.

Stage two of the project includes 59 level crossing upgrades between Donnybrook and Shepparton, with five more level crossings commissioned in recent weeks, bringing the total completed to 11.

Safety for passengers and road users has been boosted at five crossings in Arcadia, which now feature boom gates, lights, bells and improved train detection technology.

Stage three of the project, which will enable nine daily return weekday services and allow trains to travel faster on the line, is targeted for completion late next year.

“The station upgrades will allow the modern and reliable Vlocity trains locals have been calling for to run along the line later this year, with more services, more often,” Victorian Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said.
