Caroline Springs railway station is a future station on the Serviceton line in Victoria, Australia. It is scheduled to open in 2016.[1]
Construction of the station was to have commenced in 2010 and be completed in 2012.[2]
The change of government at the 2010 state election resulted in the timeline for construction being placed under review.[3] An access road to the site was partially constructed[4][5] however construction of a bridge over the rail line was completed to serve the nearby Boral Quarry which otherwise would have been isolated by the new Regional Rail Link tracks that run north-south across them.
In May 2014, the government announced construction would commence in 2014 with a scheduled 2016 completion date.[6]
