Hi there,

we are coming from Ballarat on the train, what tram, train do we then get from Southern Cross to the G......never gone by train before....

Regards Darren

Epping or Hurstbridge lines will take you through to Jolimont station, otherwise Frankston, Cranbourne, Pakenham, Glen Waverly, Belgrave and Lilydale will take you through Richmond

There is a big screen before the escalators/steps which will tell you which platform and how long till it leaves

well any tram (75, 48, 70) that goes along Flinders Street from Southern Cross station will take you to the MCG.

i think tram is easier because it can get abit confusing by train and im assuming ur gettin a V-line from ballarat, u will have to by a metro ticket either way but im not sure u can get to jollimont from southern cross without going to flinders first.

i think its easier to get the tram all the way down flinders to the ground..

If you get the Epping or Hurstbrige it misses Flinders st..

For example, if you got the 6:43 train from Southern Cross your trip is:

SC - 6:43

Flagstaff - 6:45

Melb. Central - 6:46

Parliament - 6:48

Jolimont - 6:51

Also any Pakenham, Frankston, Cranbourne, Glen Waverley line train also go through Richmond and then just follow the throng. If you go to Flinders Street from Southern Cross then Richmond is the next stop or if you go through the loop Richmond is the first stop whn you come out of the loop. You cant miss it because the train goes straight past the MCG. If you are still unsure ask any Melbourne supporter because we are such nice people (most of us anyway).

Stick with the train mate, don't bother with trams, too much hassle when you're already at the station.

Anything that goes through Jolimont as people have mentioned, or anything that goes through Richmond (which is practically every other eastern line like belgrave, lilydale, glen waverley, cranbourne, pakenham, etc etc will get you to Richmond and then follow the faithful. I'll be finishing up work and getting to platform 10 myself.

Any train that goes to Flinders St and then just walk towards the "G" along the river and over the Barack bridge. Magic walk especially at night.

Good call she devil - it is an awesome walk, really builds the atmosphere and shows off the city. Also the opening of AAMI park, so should be even more electricity.

Whats easier tram or train?

Get the Train straight to Richmond station, then get off with the masses & walk with the supporters to the 'G'.

Easiest & quickest way/ than the tram.

There's a lot more trains going through Richmond station.

Just change platforms at Southern Cross, look at the screens and get any Metro train going to Richmond or Jolimont stations.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
