The new premium Croydon Station is now open to passengers, delivering a safe and modern new transport hub that will make it easier for locals to get to where they need to go. The station is on the Lilydale line, which is the first metropolitan train line to be level crossing free – one year ahead of schedule.
The new fully accessible and staffed station is part of the Croydon Transport Hub and features two elevated platforms, lifts and stairs, toilets and a waiting room.
Expected to be completed later in spring, it will feature a 14-bay bus interchange, 284 parking spaces and safer road connections to reduce congestion for people crossing the rail line.
The station precinct will feature 650m of new walking and cycling paths and more than 70,000 new trees, shrubs, and grasses.
More than 1600 people use Croydon Station daily and 72,000 passengers use the Lilydale/Belgrave line each weekday, making it the second busiest rail line in the metropolitan network.
Croydon Station is one of six new stations to be built on the Lilydale Line since 2017, as part of the commitment to make the line boom gate free by getting rid of nine dangerous and congested level crossings.
