Home Train Timetables Melbourne has an extensive electric train service.
All lines radiate from the central city.
Apart from the underground city loop, stations are above ground, and are spaced at one to two kilometre intervals. Unlike tram services, which are largely confined to the inner suburbs, Melbourne s rail network reaches out to distant suburbs. Service frequency on outer portions of some lines is about half these figures. There are variations in the direction that trains run through the City Loop on weekdays. This is very confusing to occasional travellers and reference to timetables is recommended if arrival time is critical.
