Craigieburn Line Upgrades

16 June, 2026

Iwan WALTERS (Greenvale) (14:40): (1687) My question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport. The Victorian government has invested $673.6 million to deliver 25 locally built X’trapolis 2.0 trains, which have been manufactured in Ballarat, supporting hundreds of Victorian jobs. These new trains are currently rolling out on the Craigieburn line – I have seen them up and down in test phase – providing passengers getting on at Roxburgh Park and Coolaroo with more space, improved accessibility, greater comfort, increased reliability and capacity for more than 1200 passengers. Minister, when will these trains begin operating on the Craigieburn line to deliver these fantastic benefits to passengers?
