Gungahlin Place
Gungahlin Place is a transport interchange located in the Gungahlin Town Centre. It is the northern terminus of the Canberra Metro R1 Civic to Gungahlin line and is an important connection point between light rail and bus transport. The current bus interchange opened on 21 April 2018. Despite the station being named Gungahlin Place, the light rail platforms are actually located on a section of Hibberson Street that has been closed to road traffic. Light rail service began in April 2019.
Services
Light Rail
The light rail platforms are arranged to allow access to the vehicles from doors on both sides. This allows separation of passengers who are alighting and those waiting to board. During peak times both sets of platforms may be used and there is a crossover to allow arriving or departing light rail vehicles to switch between tracks. On the shoulder of peak hour, some services from Gungahlin Place terminate at Well Station Drive when returning to the depot in Mitchell.Line | Destinations | Notes |
