Upgrade Upfield Train Line

Take Quick Action Now!

Election candidates need to hear from as many Upfield Line voters as possible in the lead-up to the 2026 Victorian State Election!

On Sept 28, the Labor Party promised to duplicate the Upfield Line by 2033. But we need the Liberal Party to promise to duplicate the line by 2030!

Please send an email (or phone) Evan Mulholland, Liberal MLC for the Northern Metropolitan Region, plus Liberal Party candidates standing in your seat. Email addresses and phone numbers are below.

Sample Email below. You can adapt it or write your own. It’s best to include your personal story about how the Upfield Line’s current problems impact you and your transport choices in Melbourne’s north. Include your name and suburb.

SUBJECT LINE: Please Duplicate the Upfield Line by 2030

I rely on the Upfield Train Line to get around. But the trains don't come often enough and there are too many cancellations. We need more frequent and reliable trains. Trains need to come at least every 10 minutes. We were promised a more frequent service when the Metro Tunnel opened. But this didn't happen.

Currently, the single track section north of Gowrie Station means that we can't get more frequent trains. The Labor Party has committed to duplicating the Upfield Line north of Gowrie Station by 2033. This is too late. 

Will the Liberal Party commit to duplicating the line by 2030, as recommended by Infrastructure Victoria?

Thank you

Federal Labor funded the final business case in March 2025 with $7million. The plan and costings to duplicate and extend the Upfield Line should be released before the Victorian 2026 election.
If not, could you please let us know when you expect the business case to be published?

Thank you
