TRAINS
Victoria has a fast, frequent and user-friendly train system. Flinders Street Station is the hub of Melbourne’s train system and the City Loop has five stations servicing the central business district: Southern Cross, Flagstaff, Melbourne Central, Parliament and Flinders Street.
Connex provides train services across the metropolitan area running from around 5am (7am Sunday) until close to midnight seven days a week. Later services also operate out of the city on Friday and Saturday nights.
You should always carry a valid ticket when you travel on public transport in Melbourne. Transport Officers are not always understanding and the whopping fines aren't worth it. For timetable and ticket information, visit Metlink.
