Metro Park

Melbourne's Metro tunnel will transform the way many of us get about. It will certainly do so for me. The tunnel will open next year and I will have a train station just five minutes walk away. Practically, ten minutes to leave home, walk or tram one stop to the station and descend to a platform. 

Some railway land as part as construction of the the tunnel at South Yarra has been transformed. The Dandenong/Cranbourne trains will dive underground here and a rather nice green space has been created. I will guess this is an electric substation to supply power to trains.

Along Osborne Street.

A new footbridge over the railway line.

Just random photos I took. There were people in the park, some with dogs, some just lounging about in the sunshine. 

A public barbeque might have been nice here.

Sadly, there is no train viewing sight line or anyway to do trainspotting.

 

Eventually I was led to William Street and Lovers Walk. 

It is actually called South Yarra Sidings Park but I can't remember sidings there. To conclude, I think the park is terrific and there is a bit more to be constructed yet.
