Join the Metro Tunnel team on a walking tour of the new Arden Station on Saturday 30 August.

Tickets on sale midday Friday 22 August

This is an exciting opportunity to celebrate the completion of major construction at Arden Station before the Metro Tunnel officially opens to passengers later this year!

Arden Station will be at the centre of a new employment and innovation precinct that will be home to thousands of jobs and new homes.

The station, near the corner of Arden and Laurens streets in North Melbourne, will be a sustainable transport hub just a few minutes’ walk from the North Melbourne Recreation Centre, Arden Street Oval and the Route 57 tram.

The station facade features a major artwork by Australian artist Abdul Abdullah, Come Together. The work celebrates the communities of Arden, connecting the past of Melbourne's west to its future.
