Overview
The MCG Mobility Shuttle Service, the ‘G-Train’, operates during public events held at the MCG. The shuttle service is free and accessible to patrons with mobility challenges.
The G-Train route includes MCG gates, Yarra Park and public transport stations in the surrounding precinct.
The MCG has a fleet of eight buggies, four of which are fitted with a hydraulic ramp to enable wheelchair users to use the shuttle service.
Pre-booking is not required; simply wait at a designated pick up point for the next available buggy.
Pre-Event
The service has pick up points from the following locations:
- Richmond Station
- Jolimont Station
- Accessible Parking Area
Wait times are expected to be around 8-10 minute intervals.
The G-Train operates from Yarra Park gate opening time and runs continuously throughout the match. The service may be paused temporarily, or divert through Yarra Park, if crowds on the concourse are too large.
Post-Event
Post-event service is typically delayed by 10-15 minutes after the final siren until crowds on the concourse have thinned.
Pickups are available outside Gate 2 and Gate 4 only. Patrons can wait at the pickup locations and speak to the G-Train attendants to reserve a space in the queue. The service runs until no later than 1 hour post-event.
G-Train Cannot Access Southern Concourse
The G-Train cannot access the southern concourse (Gates 1, 5, 6 and 7). Staff can arrange for a wheelchair to help you to get the rest of the way around the ground, however this wheelchair must be pushed by a companion or carer.
