West Werribee to Deer Park via Wyndham Vale and Tarneit stations

Regional Rail Link

Two new stations at Wyndham Vale and Tarneit equipped with lifts, ramps and stairs will spring up in the near future as part of the governments Regional Rail Link project.

The new stations will be situated on the new Werribee to Deer Park line.

The new 26 kilometre track from Deer Park to West Werribee Junction will include no new level crossings and instead come with 12 road over rail bridges. Four major structures will be constructed at Werribee River, Lollipop Creek, Skeleton Creek and Davis Creek. Plans also foresee the extension of Christies Road, and construction of Armstrong Road.

The project is at full speed with the development of existing stations in advanced stages. The existing stations being redeveloped include Footscray, West Footscray, Tottenham and Sunshine. The Regional Rail Link foresees a growth in capacity to handle up to 9000 more passengers during peak times and allow for a much improved rail service from the growing western suburbs and Geelong.

The cost of the project is set at 4.3 billion dollars with the federal government accounting for 3.2 billion and the state government accounting for 1.1 billion.
