199811 – Grady – Jolimont Rationalisation Project

The Jolimont Rationalisation Project (JRP) is a multi-element project which has permanently changed the operational characteristics of the Melbourne suburban rail system and will change the face of the city.

The project involves the removal of all train stabling and maintenance activities from the inner city, resulting in a substantial simplification of the infrastructure and train operations. It also allows the development of a number of key Government initiatives on the land released from railway requirements.
