The Upfield railway line is a Suburban Railway in Melbourne , Australia . It has 15 Stations , in Metcard ticketing Zones 1 and 2. The line was in serious doubt in the late 1980s and early 1990s with rumours of the line been converting into light rail or even closure. The future of the line was not secured until 1994, with the upgrading of the signalling and level crossings and duplicating track between Merlynston and Gowrie . Older Comeng and Hitachi Rolling Stock runs on this line -- the newer Siemens could not originally be run on this line when they were first introduced, as a breakdown requires towing at both ends, something which is impossible because of the single line section past Gowrie. However, this problem has now been rectified, and Siemens trains have run on the line routinely during the last few months. The line is paralleled along most of its length by the Upfield Bike Path .
