Well Station Drive light rail station

Well Station Drive is a light rail station on the Canberra Metro R1 Civic to Gungahlin line, located at the intersection of Well Station Drive and Flemington Road. It serves the residential suburb of Harrison and is the closest station to many businesses in Mitchell. The station's location and lack of suitable footpaths makes access to the industrial area difficult for pedestrians,[1] leading to safety concerns within the community.[2] Bicycle racks and "kiss and ride" bays are currently installed around the intersection adjacent to the station.[3]
