Trains and Trams

The Metro Tunnel has changed the way you can get to Marvel Stadium.

Change at Footscray for a Werribee line service.

If you have accessibility needs and need to get to Marvel Stadium, Town Hall Station is the best option.

You can change at Town Hall to Flinders Street using the DeGrave’s Street subway, which connects directly to 
platforms 1 to 10 at Flinders Street Station.

Town Hall has step-free access and tactiles to help you move around the station.
