Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project

project in operation

The project involves the delivery and commissioning of Australia’s brownfield Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system as part of Melbourne’s Metro Tunnel Project, integrating advanced signalling technology into an existing rail network. Alstom implemented its Urbalis Flo CBTC system, along with conventional signalling, platform screen doors, and upgrades to the Sunshine Signal Control Centre, to enable higher-capacity, higher-frequency train operations with improved precision and reliability. The project includes extensive system testing, supports automatic train operation with a driver on board, and underpins the opening of five new underground stations, significantly expanding Melbourne’s rail network and transforming the city’s metro operations.
