- Substitution noted: Melton South does not have its own metropolitan train station; nearest rail access is Melton (regional/suburban services). Using Melton (nearest rail access), typical train journeys to Melbourne CBD (Flinders Street) are roughly 40–50 minutes depending on service/time (Rome2rio sample estimates ~37–47 minutes average) — allow 45–60 minutes door‑to‑door for travel to Flinders Street on weekdays [substitution: using Melton station travel time because Melton South itself lacks a train station] citation:Rome2rio — Flinders Street to Melton South (example travel times) citation:V/Line/Transport timetables (journey planner).
