Melbourne Metro’s last suburban diesel service | The Stony Point line

Find out what it's like to travel on the last remaining diesel still operating on Melbourne's suburban rail network. The Stony Point line is a shuttle service linking Frankston and Stony Point with many stops on the route down the Mornington Peninsula.

First we'll need to catch an electric train from Flinders Street Station to Frankston and will make a brief stop to explore one of Melbourne's few remaining intersections where train and tram lines cross - the Glenhuntly Tram Square. The tram square is being removed as part of Melbourne's level crossing removal project.
