Monash in action.

Station excavation starts this year.

What's actually happening on the Suburban Rail Loop?

[Suburban Rail Loop @suburbanloop]

What are we building in Mount Waverley?

A one stop shop for making the tunnels safe.

It’s a site that holds all the emergency essentials for an underground train line - a backup control centre and a ventilation system for the tunnels.

What delivering a train station in Monash looks like.

Glenferrie locals can head to Glen Waverley for some retail therapy in just 25 minutes, with a simple changeover in Box Hill – saving 10 minutes on public transport.

Doncaster locals will be able to meet family for a meal in Clayton in just 38 minutes – saving 28 minutes with SRL, and quicker than driving.

Dun dun dun duuun… 🎶

We’re setting the stage for tunnel boring machines Aayushi and Belinda in Clarinda.

Excavation of the launch site is underway – tunnelling starts this year.

Springvale locals will be able to enjoy brunch with friends in Cheltenham in just 16 minutes – quicker than driving, and 22 minutes faster than the current PT commute.

Crews are digging deep in Clarinda, with the tunnel boring machine launch site to reach a depth of 19.5m ⛏️

The mega machines will launch from here to carve out the southern section of SRL East tunnels.

Tunnelling starts this year. Trains taking passengers in 2035 🚆

[Suburban Rail Loop @suburbanloop]

The first of our tunnel boring machines are being assembled on site in Burwood, set to start their journey later this year.

In the meantime, the team is hard at work building the giant sheds that'll help minimise noise, dust and light once excavation is in full swing.

[Suburban Rail Loop @suburbanloop]

Is the Suburban Rail Loop actually happening?

Yes.

[Suburban Rail Loop @suburbanloop]

Works are powering ahead at Clarinda, with excavation now underway for the tunnel boring machine (TBM) launch site.

TBMs will launch from here later this year to start carving the twin tunnels.

Lucky we love a bit of mud 😉

[Suburban Rail Loop @suburbanloop]

Works are happening all over the Burwood site.

Crews are building large sheds to manage noise, dust and light.

One shed will cover the tunnel boring machine launch site, and the other will store excavated rock and soil from the tunnels before it’s safely trucked off site.

[Suburban Rail Loop @suburbanloop]

What’s happening here❓

We’re building an emergency support facility for SRL East.

This facility will:

➡️ Supply air to the tunnels

➡️ Host a backup control centre

➡️ Provide emergency service access from the tunnels to the surface

[Suburban Rail Loop @suburbanloop]

🏗️ So much progress on SRL – take a look!

Here’s the latest update from the Clayton site:

👷Crews are building the underground support walls for the station – they’ll start excavation soon

👷Work has started to build the underground connection to the existing metro station.

[Suburban Rail Loop @suburbanloop]

Thought you’d ask 😉

Check out the amazing artwork on two tunnel boring machines created by local artist Hayden Roberts, a proud Wurundjeri and Dja Dja Wurrung man.

'Footsteps of the Past' features on the cutterheads of two TBMs which will launch from Burwood.

A new interactive map shows how much time you’ll save when SRL East opens in 2035.

A nurse from Carrum will save 15 mins on their morning commute using SRL to get to Box Hill Hospital, with a simple changeover at Southland.

Sunny mornings and site investigations - it's all happening in Heatherton ☀️

Our Linewide Alliance is carrying out important work – as they prepare for earthworks 🛠️

Next up: kicking off construction of the future train stabling facility 🚆

[Suburban Rail Loop @suburbanloop]

In Burwood, crews have wasted no time, with tunnel boring machine assembly already well underway.

Like Lego, these massive machines are put together piece by piece.

Getting closer to launch 🚀
