Transport Hub
Opposite Southern Cross Station
in Melbourne CBD
Southern Cross Station is Melbourne's main intercity and regional rail hub, and it is directly opposite West Side Place. From your door, you can reach Melbourne Airport by SkyBus in 30 minutes, ride regional trains to Geelong or Ballarat, or jump on the metro to any part of the city.
The station is also the south-eastern terminus of the free tram zone — meaning most of the CBD, Docklands and Southbank are accessible at no cost from directly outside the building.
