Lilydale railway line
The Lilydale railway line is a suburban electric railway in Melbourne, Australia. It branches from the Frankston, Pakenham, Cranbourne, and Sandringham lines at Richmond station. It has 21 stations, in Metlink ticketing Zones 1 & 2.
== Description ==
The Lilydale line runs through Melbourne's eastern suburbs across mostly gentle hills (but with some steeper sections near the end of the line), having few straight or level sections. Earthworks are significant, with deep cuttings at Hawthorn, Camberwell, Box Hill, Heatherdale and near Croydon. Around Glenferrie and Auburn the line has been raised above the surrounding area on an embankment to avoid level crossings of several roads. All but two level crossings have been eliminated between the city and Blackburn (Union Road and Mont Albert Road in Surrey Hills). In 2010 a grade separation removed the level crossing at Springvale Road, previously a major bottleneck. A grade separation removed the level crossings at Rooks Road and Mitcham Road in 2014.
From Blackburn to Ringwood, the remaining level crossings are at Blackburn Road and Heatherdale Road, which are located close to Maroondah Highway. These significant north/southbound thoroughfares become very slow during peak hour services, repeatedly being stopped for passing trains, and also for trains waiting at the nearby stations. The Victorian state government has indicated that it plans to remove the level crossing at Heatherdale Road.
Of five rail bridges between Blackburn and Ringwood, three of them are residential streets (Laburnum Street in Blackburn, Cochrane Street in Mitcham and New Street, Ringwood).
